What's new

College Football

Looking forward to an exciting game in Tuscaloosa. The weather should be great. I might even have to bring a jacket.

What are everyone's thoughts on the Harbaugh 11 team playoff plan? I kind of like it.


The plan: 11 teams and 15 games spanning from the first week of December to the first week of January.

The plan includes getting rid of league championship games; Power 5 conferences would determine their champions with a 12-game schedule.

So Harbaugh says you take those five champions and six other teams, including the top non-Power 5 team (Notre Dame or Group of 5) and five at-large teams (using the old Bowl Championship Series system with computers and strength of schedule).

The bottom six teams would play on the weekend currently reserved for conference championships. The losers of these games would be thrown into the bowl pool.

On Heisman Trophy weekend, say hello to the national quarterfinals. That would still push the semifinals to near New Year's Day, with the title game a week after.

"You'd still have the same bowl structure that you have now, and teams that lost on Dec. 1, it's like they would've been in a championship game and then they play in a bowl game," Harbaugh said. "Nobody would play 16 games."

Well, not exactly. Conceivably, a team seeded 6 or higher would be playing a 16th game to win it all.
