and also in favor of forcing the serious power programs to strengthen their schedules. 11 of 12 games need to be against the other serious power programs, which would make for 13 great Saturdays instead of the crappy Septembers and Octobers college football currently has. Instead we are headed for weaker schedules (an 11-1 team on the current ND schedule coasts into an 8 or 12 team playoff).

We can debate what a serious power program includes (definitely not D-1aa or bottom 2/3 of group of 5), but the better and stronger the regular season, the better the sport is overall for me. If they go the route of college basketball (December and January Madness), the single best regular season in all of sports will be permanently ruined (not that it hasn't already been damaged by conference shuffling and the Playoff Committee's poorly defined criteria).
