100% This. College football season used to be a total of 12 games (11 regular-season games in the bowl game). Then 12 game regular seasons became the norm and then we started adding conference title games on top of bowl games. Now we have 12 game regular seasons, conference title games and two bowl games to determine the national champion. the season continues to get longer and longer, everyone else in college football continues to make more money and the kids continue to not get paid.
The optics of college kids not being compensated and playing 16 game schedule like NFL pro athletes doesn't look good at all. It would be like college basketball players playing 82-game seasons.

We don't even have 4 elite teams. Why expand? Just sounds silly to try and make these kids play more games.

it’s sports, in a single game shh can happen.. favorites lose all the time.. best team doesn’t always win
would rather see a proper playoff than the million and 1 bowl games that I’ll only watch if ain’t shh else on

Did Bomani start watching college football yesterday? Everyone knows that there's a direct correlation between recruiting and wins. Is this supposed to be news?

There’s not going to 4+ elite teams. That’s not the point.
4 team playoff is funneling all the best players into fewer school. More paths to the playoffs may be a way to alleviate this.

nah.. he’s pointing out the obvious, the dominant teams got reinforcements coming for the talent they will be losing

I usually like bomani a lot, he has a lot of great social and racial commentary and he's funny. It's frustrating to hear people who don't watch college football all of a sudden think they're making profound points.
It literally feels like he just found out about recruiting as a concept yesterday

Even before the playoff and the BCS, top talent went to the same small number of schools. The playoff didn't change that. The schools themselves have changed (Florida, FSU, Miami, USC all had their run in their heyday) but the idea of only a small number of schools having a shot to win has always been a reality in college football.

Except it is happening now more than ever.
Maybe the playoffs have nothing to do with that though.

Was more regional
like Miami kept pretty much all the kids south of Orlando they wanted
but where the real hit is usc, Texas and Florida and/or FSU are bleeding in state kids

It’s always been the same 10-12 teams in the mix and of those 10-12 teams maybe 5-7 have a legit shot at winning it all. The playoff hasn’t changed that
Sure you’ll get a Minnesota or something every now and then who reaches 10-0 but it always sorts itself out and it’s back to the same. You can expand it to 20 teams and all those top recruits are still going to be going to the big time schools

College football needs Texas, usc and as much as I hate to say it Florida and FSU to get their shh together
I mean Tennessee got funny money too.. but that’s browns related, so I got little faith in that one

These graphs are from a good article Stadium did this past offseason. They also highlighted the teams that have done the least with the most talent (USC, Texas, FSU)

That's a myth, south Florida has always been open for business, now more than ever
There's just so much volume of talent, you can get 5-8 highly talented guys from the area and be ok
