The playoffs should be the top eight.

[Jim Noble]

The playoffs should be eight or ten teams (in the latter case, top 2 get byes).

However, to preserve the fiction of studentness, this expansion would require giving up one or possibly two regular season games. When I went to college, the NCAA limit was ten games. It was “temporarily” raised to 11 in 1969 so the student protesters “would have something else to do” (God’s honest truth). That’s how Colgate happened to play Navy in 1969 (you could look it up).

Now, my little old school plays 12 like it was nothing, and starts in August to make it work. And, the AD says if they had to cut back to 11, the college would collapse through loss of revenue.

A ten-team playoff means a ten-game season, or games in the second semester. A ten game season means no new climbing walls and hot tubs on campus. And THAT means the whole $250 000 BA degree scam starts to collapse.

Not gonna happen. Wouldn’t be prudent.

Thank you! I’ve been saying that for some time and few agree with that.

“The playoffs should be the top eight.”

I agree.
