Okay this is kinda rough to watch... Know the stuff before before doing this. Jake always is very sure of himself, but he was very wrong about who got the bye week. Then when David pointed it out Jake didn't acknowledge that he was wrong. That just confuses everyone watching when you are so sure of yourself then don't acknowledge when you are wrong. The four highest-ranked conference champions get a bye. Meaning that a 9-3 team that upsets a 12-0 team in the conference championship could theoretically get a bye week if there is a lower ranked conference champion. But that likely will never happen because the major conferences have all scrapped divisions, so it'll be likely that the top teams in each conference will be undefeated or 11-1.

Yeah what a joke. These guys are proving they have do-nothing jobs when others are out there working on CFP podcasts.

The 5 seed has the theoretical easiest path (*if they don’t make a conference champ game) … the 12 seed will almost always be the “best G5 school,” nearly the same amount of total “rest days” overall as the 1-4 seeds, less travel. And there’s also the chance the 12 seed is a CC game loser.l, which means one more game for your opponent and less rest for them. Everyone has to play a minimum of 4 games to win the Natty bc of the Conference Champ games, which are all played at neutral sites.

All I was trying to state was that Notre Dame wouldn't play a conference championship game. So if they make the playoffs, they already had a "BYE" during conference championship week. But your math is spot on, my friend! 4 playoff games for ALL non-conference winners if they want to win the NC. @@srb2834

Lawmakers need to get involved. ESPN antitrust laws violation and gambling promotion concerns are troubling.

Notre Dame should be force into the conference to be made to play UConn and those teams they should not be allowed to play any other conference teams cause they not in that conference

Expand to 16 teams single elimination playoffs. Reduce regular season games to 11 games and eliminate cupcake FCS out of conference games and "Conference Championships" games. The "conference champions" can be determined through round-robin and strength of schedule like Big XII did from 2011 - 2016. Realign into 8 superconferernces and automatic bid for 8 "conference champions" and 8 at large bids. No more than 2 at large bids per conference which will force talent to be spread out more evenly across conferences making the games more competitive and exciting the whole season. Home field advantage for "conference champions" for 1st round (Sweet 16). Quarterfinals (Elite 8), Semifinals (Final 4), and Finals (Top 2) on neutral sites. This is the way that all teams heading into playoffs will never play each other more than twice in a season and all teams play same number of games (no byes).

I don’t understand why Notre dame won’t just join the ACC already, they won’t win the Big Ten or SEC anytime soon and they’re always playing ACC teams anyway, I’m sure they’re more then good enough to contend with Florida State & Clemson. If they had been in the ACC last year they would’ve won it it’s a power 5 conference built for them to run

I beg to differ; the group of 5 needs to be in this mix, and they should get multiple seats if they play the season correctly. Now, I agree that the G5s should have their own national championship game, but if that is the case, they need to change the NIL and transfer portal to help the G5 schools, not just be a feeder system for the P4 schools.

I was shock I thought they would keep the top 6 champions make it in

Did David Michigan just refer to Ohio St as "Ohio"?

The best recruiting team in the new Big 12 over the last few seasons (Texas Tech or TCU) would make for the 14th best recruiting team in the SEC next season, yet they expect us to believe that the Big 12 champ deserves a bye-week over whoever comes in 2nd in the SEC. This is what happens when artificial equality becomes a mindset. If conferences and programs want to be better, they can be better (talking to you ACC and Florida State), but don’t expect us to give you a juggernauts reward for winning games with a cupcake schedule, that’s just ludicrous. It should just be the 12 best teams, no auto-bids whatsoever. The 4 best teams in the country should get a bye-week, regardless if they win their conference championship or not.

If you’ve got an easy schedule you can still be dominant enough to prove your worth, or if you’ve got a tough schedule you can lose a few games and still be an elite team, it’s all relative.

Can't wait til an undefeated G5 team gets into the Top 4 and a buy with two other conference champs having two losses. It should happen... Will the CFP committee allow it??? Another debate...

...this format won't hurt ND...all they need to do is win 7 or more games...the CFP will take them for the TV revenue...the Sec/B1G gets 4, the ACC/ Big12 get 4..then fight over the other 4...

I can't stand notre dame. Such a crap team and staying soft. They're afraid of actually joining a decent conference. They never have a strong schedule and they don't have what it takes to prove they're worthy of a national championship. Get rid of independence teams.

The expanded format sucks. Too many autobids. Throwing a bone to some schools that do not belong in the CFP playoffs.

No we don’t need a separate playoff! Please stop with the dumb ideas because college football is already being destroyed.
