1. The playoff are boring and no one cares.
2. Regionalization sucks.
3. Bidding on a home game for $$ to the NCAA sucks!
4. Auto Bids are bad!
"IF most of you forgot I'll explain how a true championship and playoff should work.
Take the 24 best team's period. Let the conferences reward the champs. Seed teams 1-8 for the bye week. Seed 9-24 for the rest of the field, the higher seeds get home game.
The way it's set up now the 24th team that has an alumni with $$ gets a home game over the 9th seed! Stop the region crap "IF" 12 is in FL and 13 is in WA state so be it.
Bottom line: 1FCS is a money pit for most schools anyways so these home game bidding is nuts. Also not many people outside the 1FCS community watch these games anymore since they are all on ESPN ?? Need to bring these games back to network TV (CBS) or air them on the regular ESPN or Fox SN channels.
That is all,,, Carry on..

...Except 16 teams was the perfect number. Anything more is getting into NBA/NHL territory.

I am sure that it will come as no surprise to anyone, but 1AA (FCS) and its playoff system is a complete joke. This year’s bracket arraignment aside, every year there are teams that just do not belong. Dayton and the Dukes. The problem is how it is determined who belongs and who does not. Way too much politics involved and sadly politics will be the reason that the problem is never fixed.
I refuse to believe that a power ranking system cannot be established that would rank all schools. Take the top 16 and that is it. About week 8-9 start printing the standings and that is it.
No auto bids – zero. Start rewarding teams for having a great SOS and you will be amazed how fast schools will be upgrading their schedule. Stop penalizing schools from the tougher leagues that knock each other off. Granted the MVFC has been represented well the last couple of years, other years not so much.
I would like to see 1 hosting 16, 2 - 15 and so on but understand that other factors will come into play, such as does the hosting school's facilities meet a minimum standard maybe neither teams do. Can be worked out.
The YO Show:
Except there are many more FCS teams than the NHL and NBA. There are 125 fcs teams this year. With 24 making it, only 19.2 percent of teams make the playoffs. That is better than the top 20% make the playoffs. Number is higher in pro leagues. I don't think 24 is a bad number though (oh and at 16 teams making its the top 12.8% make it). Well, i guess I can't say top because rankings are .... yeah so 19.2 percent make it as is and 12.8 percent made it before.
Penguin Nation:
Taking it a step further, it is ridiculous to have the MVFC (with schools that have beaten P5 schools) and non-scholly conferences in the same division. The Dayton Rule needs to be modified, and then dissolve the FCS. Merge G5 with a few full scholly FCS conferences, and the rest join D2. Then have playoffs or bowls for the merged G5/FCS...or both.
