Time for 8 teams. 5 power 5 champs plus three more. Play the quarter finals that week after conference championships then play the final 4 as is.
I would wait 2 weeks after the CCGs to let everybody get as healthy as possible. They all just went through a brutal 12 or 13 games. Football takes it's toll on the human body.
On second thought they would never go for it. One of the benefits of making a bowl even if a team is 6-6 is the extra practice time. I don't know exactly how much time they get but it's more than the week they need to prepare for the upcoming game. Wait until the 3rd week of December for the quarterfinal and play the semi's on New Years Day and the finals a week later.
Problem is after the quarters you still have to place the losing teams in great bowls so the only way to give ample practice time before bowl games is to go ahead and play the games.
For the last 48 hours the Evil Dwarf has been panhandling like a hobo to get in playoff. It’ll be fun starting tomorrow to see him go back to being the arrogant prick we’re used to seeing. ( * talking with his hands ‘AIGHT?’)
