[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 1002252, member: 4334"] Absolutely it’s coming. I just want to get to the day where good teams have a chance for a post season. Sure, under my thinking like in every other sport, the regular season becomes devalued, but that’s how all sports at all levels are run and our society accepts it because that’s the right way. I love that the WS champs were bloodied 55 times to get there and that a team that may have laid a few eggs in September can come together and still be Super Bowl champs. I totally accept that the playoffs are expanding not for fairness but for money. I don’t care because with each expansion you are giving more teams and fans hope.. I will be happy to eventually see a 30 plus team playoff because I love the drama and all the X factors that go into it. For my 54 years on this earth, it’s been the same teams invited into the club. And sure, these same teams will probably make up a majority if the Elite Eight. But we’ll also get those teams that emerge with special players ala Boise, Stanford, or a GT. And with more games, you’ll have more variables such as injuries. You’ll also make these so called top tier coaches have to prove they are top tier by game planning within a small window. The past decade the top coaches had to basically game plan for 4 games - their division rival ala Bama/LSU, Mich/OSU, then the conference championship game, then have a month to prepare for the 2 playoff games. It’s just a joke. A real playoff system will show how vulnerable these elite teams are especially in the age of the portal. Sure, 5 years ago, Bama, UGA and others could absorb injuries due to the unbelievable depth that couldn’t escape. Now, in the portal era their starters will out gun you but their depth are now starters at schools like GT. Its all trending the right direction in my view. I just hope someone at GT is working on our future whether it’s to leave or talk some sense into the ACC to secure itself out self of the current hostage situation we have become. [/QUOTE]
