I'd love an 8-team playoff. It seems like the perfect size.

My nana just told me a joke.

A man was driving down the road, and he saw a little boy walking on the side of the road.

So he stops and asks, "Are you lost?"

Boy says, "Nope, I'm running away from home!"

Man says, "Well why are you doing that?

"My dad beats me."

"What about your mama?"

"She beats me too."

"Well, where are you gonna go?"

"I'm going to Auburn."

"Why there?"

And the boy takes a deep breath, smiles, and says, "I heard they don't beat anyone there."

it was a funny joke, thanks for reading.

I don't like eight because that's probably, in most years, putting a two-loss team that stumbled its way into the playoff on equal footing with an undefeated #1. Giving the higher seeds actual home field advantage (as opposed to their just "natural" bowl) would mitigate that some, but that's never going to happen. As I've said before, if there's expansion I'd prefer to go to six teams, with byes for #1 and #2. A stipulation that #1 and #2 be conference champions (and gently caress Notre Dame) would be fine with me.

I think an 8-team playoff is the best choice. Conference champions from each Power-5 conferences, with 3 at-large, with the stipulation that one of the at-larges be a group of 5 team (top ranked out of the group or whatever). I think the best team from those 5 conferences deserves a shot - since the way it's currently setup, they're pretty much hosed out of it no matter what. The other two can be the two top ranked non conference champions. Win your conference, you get in. Miss the chance to play for your conference championship but have an otherwise amazing season, you still have a chance to get in. And the Group of 5 isn't completely left out and has their shot to get in. And if you're Notre Dame, be one of those top 2 non-champion ranked teams to get in.

How the hell had I never heard it before

Perhaps you're just confused because you've heard it with another team location in there?

Just like "If God's not a (team with blue and white colors), then why is the sky blue and white?" on bumper stickers all over these great United States of America (in locations with blue and white teams).

If I had my way, we'd have an eight team playoff consisting of the P5 champs getting auto-bids, then the top three highest ranked non-champion teams in the Computer Polls (literally the old BCS formula) regardless of who those three teams are with the caveat that no conference can send more than two teams, and then just to make it spicy there's no seedings. Random bowl assignments.

Given that adds up to 100% I'm guessing there were no other options presented?

Probably. Or the others were uncommon enough to be dismissed and disappeared in rounding the numbers off. Like Saban probably opposed the idea of playoffs at all because it cut into recruiting and Spurrier howled something at them before swallowing an entire Mai Tai like a regular person would a shot.

Looks like Bama's Board of Trustees is loving with UAB football again. This time, they're trying to quietly drop UAB football after 2016. They're not scheduling any out of conference games and the coaching staff's contracts expire in 2016, and on top of that even the president of UAB has admitted there is a feasibility study about keeping football going.

Could be the first of a bunch of G5 teams to leave the market, so to speak.

Late, but Paul Bryant, Jr. is doing UAB a favor and everyone is blind to it.

Of course, the next step will be to dismantle the university so that all that money goes to support Alabama football.

No he's not. UAB used to be a powerful basketball program and could be again--however not even Conference USA allows you to be a member without a football team. Losing football means we lose our ability to be an upper level program in any sport and would dramatically cut the revenue of the athletic department.

I was trying to think of where a hypothetical football-less UAB might end up after being kicked out of C-USA and the best league that I think would actually take them is the Sun Belt. :ohdear:
