| This is probably directionally correct if not exactly correct

| I’m mostly ok with the expanded playoff but this part will definitely suck…

| I still don’t know how I feel about this

|
| So, for my fan lifetime, only the 2007 and 2024 teams make it*

| 2001 won the B11, so they would have been in*

| I hate it

| Only 1 round of home games is the biggest tease and worst part of current format

|
| I don’t like it but it is necessary *

| it is most definitely not necessary. It's a money grab

|
| Two things can be true*

|
| but adding more teams doesn't make the playoff better
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| I think it makes the regular season more meaningful for a shitload of teams
Posted by biclops
|
| awesome, lets get more 2-3 loss P4 teams in so they can get blown out in the first round

|
| The Game will be so exciting when tOSU & scUM rest their starters for the playoffs.
Posted by EffinIllini Edit: Though UM may need need to worry about the playoffs for a bit

| kills the second tier of bowl games but at least the kids won't be opting out*
