I'd at least like to see G5 teams be given the chance. I absolutely think Cincy should've made it this year. This was the perfect year for a team like Cincy to get a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to expand and reduce regular season games to give more people a shot. The problem is once you start expanding then the next cry will be for 16 etc. I think 8 is the best number and give some conference tie (with some sort of minimum win or max loss) and a stipulation to let a group of 5 team in given certain criteria. Problem is it adds a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is it adds a game. I don't think it would be that much crying for 16 teams if you go up to 8. Yeah people might be upset right at the cusp, but I think with 8 teams we at least know that the best teams in the country are in. With 4 teams, it's really hard to say that the 3rd or 4th team is really better than the 5th or 6th. It would also pretty much guarantee a spot for a G5 team that puts up a really good record like cincy or central Florida from a few years ago. Tbh I'm not too fussed about adding a game, if you're in the playoffs it's probably ok to get an extra game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch 1,116 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Bama/ND went as expected Clemson/OSU blew my mind I still think Fields is severely overrated and just had a fluke game. Clemson didn't look like their typical powerhouse self so not sure what happened there. Just my opinions on the game Quote PDlMitch ~ Ex: Knights of Order ~ Collision ~ Syndicate ~ Exodus ~ Crimson Raiders ~ Downfall ~ Divine Forces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinions on the game I think Fields might actually be really good, but it's hard with such a small sample size ND was outclassed on the perimeter, just didn't have the athletes to keep up with Bama Quote don't be the third whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

€dnd5 1,000 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Been a fun first week of games. Some interesting scores out there. Definitely a lot of teams that should be better than what they looked like or the scores showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
