FCS is starting their 24 team playoff this weekend, top 8 get byes. Playoff games each week for the next 4 weeks then championship game after Christmas Break. Minimum of 1, maximum of 5 extra games, season total up to 17. Never hear the powers that be cry about too many games for these "student athletes", and they don't have near the resources/money of the big boys . The bowl games can double as playoff hosts, which actually elevates the majority of them, as it is now the lesser bowls are meaningless to most but the alumni. Also eliminates the excuse of scheduling preschools for out of conference games for fear of losing and hurting your chances of getting into the playoff. Looking at you Saban.

It's gonna take a team like Minny to upset the whole fukn' applecart, nothing would be better. Except maybe the big conferences telling the NCAA to stick it and starting their own association.
Gophers could really do it, don’t think they will but it would make it madness if they did!

I’m good w 8. It stupid not to have all 5 power 5 champs, I want one the little guys they let in New Years bowl to get in payoff, then they can take bama and osu any year they don’t win their conf like they want, lol.

If they did this maybe cowards like bama wouldn’t be so scared to schedule a real team in non conf since out of conf loss wouldn’t matter and we could get better Games early other than watching them destroy little sisters of the poor!
