How do we fix college football and the playoffs? The NCAA Bball tournament puts it to shame

One diamond in the rough can carry a basketball team all by himself, but that's not really true in football. Maybe a super elite QB, but those virtually never slip through the cracks.

So, my first point was to limit scholarships. What if.....(hell I know this would never happen) we take full rides from 85 down to 65 per school. Talent then gets spread around more. Alabama won't have two back ups better than some teams first team because there just isn't enough scholarships to give out. Wont' that help parity.

I hear UCLA and USC are the "Crimson Tide" of college ping pong. I'd probably watch just to see something novel.

I'm all searching the internet about UCLA, thinking maybe if we get hot and if we make this move, we can make a run. There are 67 other college basketball teams that are feeling like we are. Giddy. Kids on Christmas eve. This is in a year of covid and no fans.

How can we get college football more like this? I know we can't have six games. But what can we do to make a game I love into more than just the thought of hey, it's Alabama and Clemson, and Maybe OSU and choose one other elite team. Whooopie.

Less scholarships to each school? Spread the talent out?

Champion of the conference goes to the playoffs no ifs ands or butts, no rankings no committee?

First playoff game comes from conference championship game?


I like college football more than I like college basketball, but name a more fun weekend than the first weekend of the NCAA tournament.

Is it possible to make college football better or will we just get more of the same every year.

In answer to your last questions here, both of them are yes.

Football really needs to add add more camera angles for official reviews. And make reviews mandatory. Just eliminate the need for a coach to call for one. Make the game perfect by getting rid of all mistakes and questionable calls. You’ll love it, Travis.
