Mike Leach wants a 64 team College Football Playoff
Leach says the regular season should be cut to 10 games in order to make room for a larger playoff. The first round would become a home-and-home series, and bowls that currently exist would make up the rest of the games. In his ideal scenario, the playoff champion would play in 16 games total.
“I don’t know why you don’t have 64 teams,” Leach told Dinich. “...The notion of pinpointing and selecting four perfectly, well that’s not going to happen. That can’t happen effectively.”
Four conferences, 20 teams in each.
Each conference consists of four divisions, 5 teams each.
Scheduling is handled like the NFL does. Each season you pit two divisions against each other to get as close to schedule balance as possible. 9 conference games. 2 out of conference games. Each team plays 11 games total.
Each conference has a 4 team playoff (the 4 division winners) on Thanksgiving weekend + the weekend after.
The four conference winners move on to the already established 4 team CFB Championship playoff.
Non playoff bowls remain in tact.
Boom, you have a psuedo 16 team playoff with "decent" balance.
If there's some team who sets the world on fire, and isn't part of the 4 "power" conferences, so sorry.
That's dumb.
Mike Leach is also crazy, so take what he says with a grain of salt. 4 is more than enough.
