"I like that we give the players December off. They've been hitting it hard since spring-ball, and all you whiners want 3 or 4 more games."
No. I'd rather the season was made shorter, actually. They extended it last year and that just meant another tomato can on the schedule.
People act like getting a playoff into CFB is some sort of mystical puzzle, unable to be cracked. What do we do about the bowls? What do we do about the schedule? How do we make sure the players don't play too long?
It's not a mystical puzzle. Lots of CFB teams have playoffs and play regular schedules. They just are not D-1. Appalachian State won a playoff and was crowned as a legitimate champion, with the season ending on December 14th (3.5 weeks before D1 ended), with a bye week, and they played 14 games. LSU played... 14 games!
The current system is a broken joke and the solution already exists, in plain view, for all to see. The only question is if you want to look at it.
