I’m glad to see that others are sharing a similar vision

As a reminder, before the playoffs started I floated this model that replaced the conference champ games with a play-in weekend of 12 games. It gives regular season more importance by determining the conf champs. It gives every conf a chance. It gives the P4+ND the chance to earn their way in with plenty of spots for the bubble teams. And it gives the top seeds a home game in round one of the playoffs. And Army v Navy still get a weekend to themselves. ** Edited by HokieAl at 12/29/2025, 9:28:14 AM

This is like the old +1 model that many favored before they created the BCS
Maroon Baboon • 12/29/25 07:36 PM ET
That would be my ultimate goal. Start the season earlier, get rid of

I think you will find schools will be reluctant to start the regular season

Their already doing Week 0 games, if this was going to happen, why hasn't
Stech • 12/29/25 12:02 PM ET
Teams need a waiver to play Week 0 games regardless of which division level
VTHokie2000 • 12/29/25 12:08 PM ET
Agree need rules change, hypocritical to say it's okay for some & not all.

FWIW I have not seen any reports where the NCAA committee has denied a

I think the whole season and offseason needs to shift. No spring football
reestuart • 12/29/25 10:51 AM ET
Maybe so, but I doubt schools are willing to take on the liability issue

Nope, the championship game should rotate around the country and be...
EDGEMAN • 12/29/25 09:31 AM ET

HokieAl • 12/29/25 09:27 AM ET
They can still do play-in games even if they don't junk the CCGs.
Maroon Baboon • 12/29/25 09:34 AM ET
I would love to give conferences control and flexibility for championships
