CFP (8 team format is right around the corner)
The calls and or groans for an 8 team CFP are only getting louder and more frequent. Some even want a 12 or 16 team format. I am thinking that starting in 2019 we will see at least an 8 team CFP. Here's to our coach, Jim Harbaugh, and the team breaking out in 2018 and regaining some lost luster on the national stage.
The Outback Bowl was an extremely bitter pill for me, as well as others, I am certain
To my fellow Michigan alums, fans living in the state of Michigan, hang tough. I know the heckling and smart a$$ fans. I lived in Columbus, Ohio for 25 year (1990 to 2015). It was unbearable at times
We have the right coach, albeit one that will have to make some adjustments and changes he did/does not want to make. Jim Harbaugh is the answer to awakening the sleeping giant. We are still slumbering but not for much longer. 2016 was a BIG missed opportunity. 2017 was almost as expected, though not admittedly by most of us.
Go Blue - Happy Sunday and Happy New Year!

Do you have a legitimate source for these calls and groans? Btw, nice job posting this and immediately upvoting it yourself. Hahahahah

This thread is utter crap. The end.

It's called priming the pump.
The user upvotes himself thinking that once the seal is broken many Mgo-Upvotes will follow and snowball from there. Soon you will be swimming in a vast sea of precious MgoPoints, a la Scrooge McDuck.
I admit, I have in the past succumbed to this shameful tactic. And that was my thought process.

thanks prospect of watching.

There are a few upsides to an expanded playoff.
First is that it might make more players participate in their team's bowl game (because there is still a chance to "win it all")
And Second, it might help even out the talent a little bit more, as the whole "I went to Alabama because I want to compete for championships" will be a little a less exclusive, as now 8 teams would be able to have an opportunity to win as opposed to 2-teams with the BCS and 4-teams with the CFP.
Yes, I understand that people will argue that that is what the season is all about, and to that I would argue the a) it's not long enough given the size of the league, b) it's not even long enough given the size of a single conference, and c) why do you hate football and fun?
An expanded playoff is an absolute inevitability, the real question is, will it be in the next 2-4 years or 8-10 years?

If you guys wouldn't mind upvoting this 10,000 times I will have the 100,000 points I need to fly the whole family to Maui.

For upvoting yourself.
January 7th, 2018 at 10:03 AM ^
I see this comment a lot. Why do people care about this so much?
January 7th, 2018 at 10:20 AM ^
It’s like tipping yourself for making your own meal or signing your user name after a comment. It’s just weird and kinda lame.
January 7th, 2018 at 11:16 PM ^
+1, insightful.

January 7th, 2018 at 10:21 AM ^
Also it’s the internet and people are weird and kinda lame.
January 7th, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
Kinda? No its just plain old fucking lame.
January 7th, 2018 at 10:24 AM ^
No need to self-promote over and above that.
But seriously, all OPs should be good quality, otherwise don't post. Upvoting one's own post implies the post can't stand on its own. The MGoCollective factors this in when passing judgment.
January 7th, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
Maybe you don't mind watching other guys masturbate, but most of us ain't into it.
January 7th, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
You need help. Not even comparable. I guarantee you are an old woman.
January 7th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
Unless a troll, they're providing their own thoughts so why upvote it themselves? Perhaps they feel nobody ever likes their posts and they need that self-gratification upon release (posting). And you don't mind so...
I keed, I keed...
January 7th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
I don’t know about help, but he definitely has more WTKA to call with his hot takes.
January 7th, 2018 at 7:40 AM ^
From what I've read on other sites, there will probably be no changes until 2025 at the earliest, when the current CFP/espn contract expires. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some changes, but probably nothing dramatic. The bcs, for all its flaws, was still in place for 15 years.
January 7th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
Don’t talk to me about contracts, Wonka, I use them myself. They’re strictly for suckers.
January 7th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
That's awesome. I'm gonna contact the financial institution I make my mortgage payments to and tell them I'm not paying interest on the loan any more.
January 7th, 2018 at 10:18 AM ^
2025? I'd bet you $500 in person right at this moment if we knew eachother. I'd bet that it happens before that and I almost guarantee I will win. You know how money people don't give a shit about watching Clemson, Georgia and Alabama in the playoffs? About 3/4 of the country. Once these idiots come to their senses and realize the revenues they are missing out on, they'll catch on. Many of them aren't that bright.
I love college football. It is the best sport in my opinion but why do so many people not give a shit about it? It's because it's a stupid fucking system and even the mass population as dumb as they are, can see this. The NCAA has been shooting itself in the head for years when it comes to football. Yeah, tradition my ass. You dinosaurs are hopefully becoming extinct.
January 7th, 2018 at 7:42 AM ^
are constant from some quarters. Does that mean they're around the corner? I doubt it. Why would we expect everyone to agree on the best number of teams, especially when some of the voices are only trying to stir things up?
January 7th, 2018 at 9:22 AM ^
For some reason, my posts on occasion come out as blanks. Anyone have a clue as to why?
January 8th, 2018 at 9:50 AM ^
Because you touch yourself at night....
January 7th, 2018 at 9:22 AM ^
Dupe
January 7th, 2018 at 7:47 AM ^
Zero information in the OP and then goes on to give us his take on the bowl game and state of the program.
Delete this.
January 7th, 2018 at 7:53 AM ^
The agreement for the 4 team playoff does not expire until 2026.

that there was a call by one guy on Twitter named Patches O'Houlihan for a 2,048 team double elimination tournament that included NAIA and JUCO teams that would go from June-December. 6 people liked it, so I'm guessing that we'll see that tourney start in a few months.
January 7th, 2018 at 9:13 AM ^
FUCK YEAHHHHHH!!!!! Make that 7 people who like it!
January 7th, 2018 at 8:00 AM ^
thought the Outback Bowl was awesome. One of my best memories as a Michigan fan.
January 7th, 2018 at 8:09 AM ^
THIS YEAR, goober. THIS year.
January 7th, 2018 at 8:02 AM ^
what does this post have to do with the CFP?
It is, however, another painful reminder of our last game.
January 7th, 2018 at 8:07 AM ^
No sources. No information other than your opinion. Bad post.

Should be a great day of posting.

Glad to hear your thoughts and desires, but don’t title your post like actual news exists when it does not.

I remember also when I would stay up all night drinking. I usually bought random things from Amazon but if you rather post in your favorite blog, by all means then.

A million fucks was the point of this post?

How did you get nearly a thousand points in a couple weeks?
Seems fishy...

Don’t know. Looking at the person’s post history, I can tell you I hate how he or she posts. New paragraph for each sentence. Cheap way to draw attention to the posts.
