Proposing a 64-team college football playoff

[IBGPN]

CBS sports has a 64 team football playoff bracket on their site. Looks interesting. What do ya'll think??

Forgetting for a moment how difficult it would be for this to actually work...IT WOULD BE THE MOST EXCITING SPORTS MONTH EVER! It would put March Madness to shame.

I'm having a hard time loading that page...

How much time would we have to get things set-up?

[IBGPN]

I am not sure.

That would be absolutely crazy. I couldn't imagine picking the Top 64, but it will be interesting. The only problem I see is the people who think that the 4 number 1 seeds should meet and play a couple of games to determine the national champion.

[Lilred36]

nay at most a 6 team top 2 get byes 1st week. It would only take 3 weeks, surely we can get the top outa 6.

[IBGPN]

Yeah 64 teams would make for a 7 game regular season. I just thought that was some funny stuff. We at least need a plus 1.

I could see a 32 team or a 16 team playoff to determine the national champion. 32 teams would take 5 weeks to complete and 16 would take 4 weeks to complete. I personally think that they could cut a couple of weeks off the schedule and make it say 10 weeks. The top 16 in the AP polls make the playoffs. Play the next 4 weeks to determine the national champion. It works great for basketball, why can't it work for football.

No, 16 is to many. 8 is a perfect number. Hell I would take a four team playoff at this point. This BCS crap is a joke. Use the BCS to seed the teams in the bracket that is all it is good for.

I could see 8 teams. Use some of the bowl games to be the tournament games. It would make the bowl games a bit more interesting. Most of them are a lopsided joke.
