I prefer no byes and no Champ Games that didn't matter for Bama, the campus

games are a big hit. So give everyone that makes the playoffs a bye after Thanksgiving weekend and play Army Navy that weekend. I love that they are considering the next round on campus too. Let New Years be the semifinals and the first Monday of the New Year be the Finals...or something like that. By the way, I think that is pretty close to the FCS National Championship calendar when they had 16.

Vote soon on expanding to 16 Playoff & 2 rounds on campus gaining steam 🔗
Stech • 12/31/25 07:05 AM ET
I think 14 with the top two conference champs getting byes
I85Hokie • 12/31/25 12:54 PM ET
No byes! Does the NCAA BB tournament have byes? Nope!**
EDGEMAN • 01/01/26 05:42 AM ET
I'm for no byes. Jump to 16 & be done with it.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/31/25 10:13 PM ET
My issue with that is it hurts teams like Texas Tech. They play in and win

Solution…. Just never rank them 16 or higher even when they’re undefeated.**

I am not sure I understand what you're saying, could you share details on

Sorry… I should have added (TIC) at the end of my post

Good, bad or indifferent, Tech, other ACC schools and that “other” school….

I want a truce with Domer too, I take some responsibility in the demise, it

It's in the article, I didn't write it, but are you disputing it's there?**
Stech • 12/31/25 12:35 PM ET
Shocking yet another ND focused article from you.
goldendomer • 12/31/25 12:32 PM ET
Dude, ND cries so freaking much that 90% of the CFB articles mention them…

Victim Dame, which they were 100 yrs ago. My family was there, but not now!**

They need to expand in order to get better matchups

If you are going to replace Conference Championship Weekend with a Play-in
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 11:24 AM ET
The G6 are going to get shafted on something. Access, location, matchups
HokieAl • 12/31/25 11:42 AM ET
Except they won't be ranked high enough because the Playoff Poll has now
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 11:49 AM ET
Conf Champ games must go, Bama getting blown out & not mattering is insane!
Stech • 12/31/25 11:00 AM ET
Also insane: a 5-loss Duke team in ACCCG over Miami.**

Is there any sort of demand for a G6 Playoff though? Networks and sponsors
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 11:35 AM ET
G6 playoff needs to replace all bowl games with games at bowls
Sunsetunderground • 12/31/25 01:02 PM ET
Financially will enough G6 fans be able to take off from work/schools and
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 02:36 PM ET
Bowl game attendance & watching is dying, I think there are thoughts of $$$
Stech • 12/31/25 11:48 AM ET
I agree with what you said about bowl games. However, I am not sure a G6
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 11:54 AM ET
They won’t generate P2 money, but probably more than bowl money, I also
Stech • 12/31/25 12:10 PM ET
Good luck coming up with a great argument to address the liability issue.
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 12:18 PM ET
I think that has already been tested with 5-10 teams already doing it
Stech • 12/31/25 12:45 PM ET
More people may be saying, but the only opinion that matters is the

Everything I've heard at 16 4 P4 Champs & 1 G6, 11 based on rankings. No ND
Stech • 12/31/25 10:42 AM ET
Probably the most fair move to make at 16. If it expands beyond 16, then
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 11:15 AM ET
I am not sure the G6 are against having their own Playoff. My G6 friends

I think if a National Championship is on the line way more than dying bowls

If you truly believe so, then I guess they can sign you up as the primary
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 12:11 PM ET
Just go after the Bowl Sponsors, if they are playing for an NC should help
Stech • 12/31/25 12:34 PM ET
FCS have been playing for THE NCAA DI NC since 1978 and that hasn't helped
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/25 01:07 PM ET
Bigger schools, bigger stadiums, etc, equal bigger ratings than FCS. **
Stech • 12/31/25 01:16 PM ET
Not necessarily. How do the ratings for Thursday night games involving Gs
