Taking into account the current state of affairs, prolly time to:

1) just play in-conference games (~7 games), every conference has its pancakes,

2) end with conference championship game,

3) take the 10 Conference champions and add 6 at large based on year end SOS,

4) playout a 16 team tournament;

5) all games played on homefield, or, 

5) Play N, S, E, W championship games as follows:

     a) N = Minn/IN

     b) S = GA/FL/LA

     c) E = NY/DC/GA

     d) W = LA

6) Rotate Semi and Championship games to central location 

7) Throw all the above out in regards to location and just use the current Bowl games/locations for play but eliminate the everybody gets a trophy BS Bowl games.

IMO that's a pretty straight up approach that would also present some interesting matchups throughout the playoff.

 

Oh well, just rambling thoughts over a cup of java.

This is a good start to an important discussion. Non tournament games will lose viewers and ultimately revenue. It’s time to end them.

I wonder how whoever forked over NIL money to a kid feels about him opting out ?  Just a random thought that crossed my senile mind, lol.

IMO, NIL money is gonna have contractual agreements to play or pay back, unless the agreement is if the player opts out it doesn't matter since the NIL agreement was developed and signed off on by the player and in reality his backdoor sports agent.

Excellent points about NIL money. The merry go round hasn’t stopped yet.

NIL money by definition CAN NOT have any incentives to play in it, this would directly be pay for play. The company is paying for the person's name, image, and likeness. They are that person whether they play or not, NIL money is based on fame and recognition not playing a meaningless bowl game.

If a kid ain't playin', his name, image and likeness ain't worth what it used to be, LMAO.

Alabama's QB signed a million dollar NIL contract before even winning the starting job.

Also, who is going to forget about a player because they opt out of 1 game? No one, they will probably talk more about his draft prospects.
