Joe...We are going no where with this. I'll end this discussion by offering you the following...The NCAA is NOT in charge of college football. The NCAA has given the P4 schools the ability to make their own rules. And the NCAA does not run the college football playoff.
So the real problem here appears to be that you have no idea how college football in 2024 actually works. Which is odd, because it's not like it just changed this season.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)governs the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of college football. The NCAA is a nonprofit organization that regulates student athletics for around 1,100 schools in the United States and Canada.
The FBS is the highest level of competition for college football in the NCAA, and is also known as NCAA Division I. The FBS is made up of 134 schools, all of which have varsity football teams.
Now, I am completely aware that the NCAA doesn't sanction the actual playoffs, BUT they should. It involves the 134 schools that they govern, so they should be involved in establishing the format used and the number of teams that qualify.
