🏈 Need a little help. Don't have the right decoder ring. ~ Danny Kannell's "dream" 12 team playoffs: seedings and games.

When you see it ...

So, the best games I see in round 1 would be Ole Miss vs Pitt and Cincy vs MIchigan State, maybe Ohio State vs Baylor. The rest are just warm ups at best.

So wait, this moron thinks everyone gets to host a game except Tuscaloosa? Geez this dude's bias is so blatant and disgusting. I can't wait for him to be caught in a scandal and fired in disgrace.

I think Danny boy forgot his Florida State Seminoles.

First round games would be played at the higher seed’s home field. Second round would likely be at bowl sites.

Under the proposed 12 team playoff, first round was on campus. Later rounds were at bowls. Since top 2 get a bye the first round they get no home game. In other words, punish teams for doing well.

I really wish they would get off the 12 team proposal....

Its too many ...even though some of games would be interesting....
I really like 8...with conference champions getting automatic bids if ranked in top 12....
3 wildcards....as selected by committee....

I know a bunch dont agree....some do....

And in this era of bama football....we are in almost always,...

But wont be sometimes in future...

But for now...4 is working

 

[TerryP]

Y'all still aren't getting this.

I think 6-10 is the right number. If you have automatic qualifiers at all then it has to be 8-10, without 6-8. I personally like 6 with 3-6 playing in round 1, then those winners taking on 1 and 2, but I think P5 AQ is going to happen with expansion. I would also remove and special treatment for Notre Dame. They do not get treated as a conference unto themselves. They get treated as any other independent. Join a conference if you want to play with the big boys.

Even in the NFL, where parity is much closer to real, it is rare anything below a 4 seed wins it all. I think 7 Wild Card teams have won it all since 1979 and 4 others made it. In college parity is so off that I find it doubtful any would ever even make it to the final game.

I did notice he was not giving all of the Top 4 a Bye like most proposals did but skipped over that. The correct model is more

Are you talking about the fact that he has Cincinnati at 3 and Georgia at 4?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Guys, I think Terry's point is, the bracket doesn't work past the 1st round. Only way to do it would be like mentioned above, with top 4 teams having first round byes.

Actually...giants beat pats and they were wildcard...i think

Douchebag Danny definitely didn’t take Dr Archie Wade’s classes over at Moore Hall, now Wade Hall. He should know this crap “ain’t gonna work!”

 

[rick4bama]

What I see is this way you would still have and odd number. He has 3-12 playing so that would leave 7 teams to finish the playoff.

That is one of the 7. Bucs last year also.

I saw someone else doing this . Round 2 would be the 5 winners of round 1 plus number 2. Round 3 is where those 3 winners and Number 1 play. So Bama would get 2 Byes, which is terrible.

I bet Kanell's ass is chapped like he had Taco Bell and Ghost pepper sauce.

Yet again 2 SEC schools in the play off. I firmly believe his schtick is a feeble attempt of staying relevant after getting canned from ESPN.

GMac called him out on it on twitter.
