The annual playoff discussion has taken off again on ESPN, so I thought I'd ask the board;

Do you think a 8-team playoff would be good for the NCAA and schools like UNT?

Not at all.

No because UNT would never be in the top 8 or come close to it.

Who is talking about an 8 team playoff? I think an 8 team playoff wouldn't be much better than the bcs championship... If there were a playoff (which won't happen) it should be 32 teams, with the winners of the conferences getting an automatic bid, just like the ncaa bball tournament.

I think it's tougher to do it in football as far as time etc. I am just not sure if the higher ups would be totally on board with that. I don't mind seeing a 32 team playoff but realistically I think the highest it would go would probably be 16 teams.

I do not you will see conferences like the Sun Belt, the MAC, and other smaller conferences get to participate with the big conferences if there is a playoff system. I think you may even see another upper tier created for the big boys and they will comprise the ones who are in the run for the National Championship that counts. There may be a playoff system between the smaller conferences. The big boys are not going to want to take a chance playing the smaller schools due to the risk of injury or being beaten i.e. Oklahoma/Boise.

The only way a playoff system would work is each conference getting 1 bid with the conference champ. Fill out the remaining 16 with the teams that had the best seasons. Keep a few bowl games for the deserving teams left out of the playoffs.

A 16 team playoff is the only feasible number if you want to be fair(all conference champions plus a handful of at-large selections) AND not drag it out forever(even four weeks is a bit long and would go thru finals).

But I don't think it'll ever happen. And a smaller 4 or 8 team scenario would really hurt schools in the Non-Power leagues.

Isn't the time between the last regular season game and the last bowl game about 5 weeks anyway? I don't see why a 32 team playoff wouldn't be feasible because of 1 more week.

The last Saturday of the regular season is December 6th. Usually the Championship Game is around January 7th or so - so yeah that's about 4 1/2 weeks or so. I really can't see them playing straight thru tho...they'd probably have a week off around the 20th for Finals(my guess). So then you're going into mid January and going into the Spring semester, which is something they don't wanna do(maybe because some of the players won't be academically eligible?).

The winner of each conference gets an automatic bid which would be 11 teams. Have one at large team that would basically be a wild card for 12 teams or two at large teams that have a play-in game to narrow the field down to 12 teams total and then go from there.

I have my doubts that a 17 game college football season will ever happen for anyone.

Remember when the soon to be expanded again NFL season was only 14 games? Apples and oranges you say? Remember when college football was 11 games (not including bowls)? 10 games? 9 games?

I believe this was written with the NCAA in mind.

In his first order of business as president....

“I think it is about time that we had playoffs in college football,” Obama said Monday on ESPN. “I’m fed up with these computer rankings and this and that and the other. Get eight teams – the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a national champion.”

      What's so frustrating is that we were there, on the cusp. We were THAT team. WE HAD THE MOMENTUM (starting in 2017) until Littrell's flirtations with KSSt. The wheels fell off after that.... starting with Fine's injury in the NM Bowl game that year, then Harrell getting hired away & replaced by Bodie Reeder. The next season, the lackadaisical SL showed up and he wasn't having fun anymore. No more high energy, "Get after their asses!!". Instead, it was low energy, "we gotta do better in all 3 phases".... Then, we fired Littrell, and rightly so, but brought in Great Value Seth Littrell to replace him, which was a bone-headed move.

      Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB

      He was only recruited as a reserve; mainly to get in on the SOC/Dallas pipeline. (15 minutes away). Their guy was 4-Star QB Preston Stone of Parish Episcopal. Stone was injured and hasn't performed up to expectations. Jennings exceeded expectations. Not great but effective.

      New Commit....Cahmai Crosby, combo guard......Kilgore JC

      Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers.

      Defensive recruiting/coaches have taken a backseat to offensive recruiting/coaches. I truly hope Morris quickly figures out that defense is necessary for winning. We just can’t rely on out scoring teams. I also hope Morris starts protecting the defense with his offensive play calls. When the defense just got off the field after a long drive by the other team, don’t be so aggressive with long passes that have us turning the ball over in less than a minute. Try to burn some clock and sustain a drive allowing the defense to rest and get adjustments from coaches.
