Yeah. It was a lot of fun when CPJ was here. Hoping we'll see more land as Brent Key gets the program solidified.
If I read the rules properly, your home territory will get passed to the next team that beats the team that took it from you. So it is still possible to get it back if you play someone down the road that has taken control of it.
Beat a team that holds your home territory. You lose your land whenever you lose, home or away. So a team could go 11-0 and lose to a team that's 0-11 and that team gets all that land.
the bowl season would also still be relevant
Conference schedules will sort out things to prevent more than 3 or 4(max) being ranked that high. Last year's field would have had 3xSEC, 3xB1G, 2xB12, 2xP12, 1xACC and Tulane. I would bet this will be typical. No more than 3 teams from one conference represented. Well better said.. no more than 20-25% of a conference represented as we're going to have a P4 next year with more teams per conference.
Jerry Palm does a 'what would the CFP look like if it was 12 teams' every week. Same Top 12 as last week, though a different order for some.

As of today—current list of 4 for 2023
Dude, ND is better than everyone else - in positioning their team and getting what they want. I for one am envious that the folks in charge of ND have made the right decisions all along the way especially after watching decades of my school making the wrong decisions along the way. Look what they’ve done. We all are arguing about TV contracts and money and ND went out there by themselves and got their own gazillion dollar TV contract. Then they convinced (what we all see today) was a bunch of simple minded idiots in Greensboro to let them join the conference except in the one sport that matters. Now, with an expanded playoff coming (that even the blind guy saw coming) they will have an annual invite and even if the committee voted to change the rules they would have an offer to join from every conference within 5 seconds. Meanwhile we are just hoping the BIG will pick up the phone and give us a chance to grovel. You may not like that school or their team but you gotta admire their sports acumen.
Mich/Osu will have at least one loss.
And Penn State—all the B1G unbeatens play each other. So yeah, I understand what you’re saying
The #1 criteria for the CFP is conference championship. I think undefeated FSU would be in ahead of whichever B1G team is not the champ. Even with today's rankings.
The sports media still loves a “good FSU story.” They’ve already got highlight tapes from their last championship cued up for pregame of the playoffs.
In 2016 Penn State won the big 10 conference and beat Ohio State on the field and the CFP committee still took Ohio St. when they sent the second best team Ohio St it didn’t end good either….Clemson 31 Ohio St 0 but that’s what happens.
