[QUOTE="Techster, post: 102962, member: 360"] As some of us predicted, the rumblings toward a more inclusive college football playoff is starting...even before the very first game has even kicked off. Our very John Swofford is leading the charge: [url]http://espn.go.com/ncf/notebook/_/page/3pointstance112014/marcus-mariota-speeding-ticket-john-swofford-push-eight-teams-3-point-stance[/url] [I][B]1. ACC commissioner John Swofford broke from the party line Wednesday and declared his personal support for an eight-team playoff, laying responsibility for the 12-year, four-team playoff at the feet of the presidents. Swofford said the presidents don't want a two-semester sport. That sets up the obvious trade: Swap the conference championship games for the quarterfinals. An additional playoff round would recoup the money the conferences give up. It's also addition by subtraction. No championship games means one more bye week. That should keep players healthier. And that's how the proponents of the eight-team format should sell it.[/B][/I] I don't get the argument that it would turn into a 2 semester sport (nevermind CBB is a 2 semester sport), when going from quarter-semi-final only takes 3 weeks, and if you have a conference championship (basically automatic play-in for P5 conferences), 4 weeks. Most BCS bowls take place during the entirety of the first week of January...so there goes that argument. You can go a step further and say teams that lose in the quarterfinal round can still go to bowl game. I think the 8 team playoffs will happen sooner rather than later. [/QUOTE]
