@ty14 Having 12 teams involved is beneficial to the four highest ranked conference champions, because they earned it on the field of play. It is one less game they have to play (less chance for injury of key players) and it puts the other eight teams at a mathematical great risk of injury to key players. Case in point, how devastating was our loss of Jalen Warren and two offensive line starters in the Conference championship game last year. Injuries to key players can make all the difference in the world. Therefore, winning your conference, and having a complete season to where you are rewarded with being ranked in the top four of conference champions should be rewarded with a first-round bye. I think it is genius.

LOL, Meyer? That guy is tra$h, he has shown his true colors.
Mark Dantonio has never had a team w/ a prolific offense. His teams relied on very nice defenses and ball control, a big, fat NO THANKS! I think Peterson is done w/ coaching. Iād take Luke Fickell!
@orangeokie i think this was meant for @teatown i donāt have a problem with the 4 getting a bye, I think the big 12 champ will more than likely be that 4 team after realignment shakes out so I think itās good for us. I just donāt think there are 6 conferences strong enough to have their conference champ get an automatic bye. I think that number should be at 5 and maybe even 4 if the pac 12 falls completely apart.

Dantonio had three conference titles in thirteen seasons at Michigan State (and made the playoff). Peterson won two conference titles in six years at Washington (and also made the playoff).
Thatās more important to me than a guy that wins a bunch of games against teams he should beat and has nothing to show for it when itās all said and done.
So āNo Thanks!!!ā to beating rivals, getting conference titles, and making a playoff?
Maybe I misread it ?!?! Yea I agree with the playoffs expanding but 12 is too many. Eight is my number but I imagine they will stick with 12. Just like HS basketball, everyone starts all over. Thatās the money talking with so many games with the Okla Athletic Assn. Until this year Texas was ranked in preseason. What did they base that on other than them being Texas ? Politics and supposed to beās

@ty14 No, I was responding to your comments where you did not like the six qualifying conference champions. I like it because winning a conference championship has to have some value, above non-champions.

@orangeokie try telling joy that us missing Warren and the two OL was a big difference in us winning or losing in the CC game last year ā¦.it was absolutely the reason we didnāt win it.

I agree totally. If we had Warren and any kind of running game at the CC it would have likely been a sure win for us. Also having a running game might have reduced the number of interceptions as some of those hurried passes may have not happened.

When did Michigan State make the playoffs? You think he retired from MSU but would come to oSu 10 years from now, he would be 76 years old, GEEZER ALERT! 
when Gundy finally retires? .641 winning percentage at Cincy then Mich Stateā¦is great?

Gundy is definitely stealing. Paying that chump $7.5 mil per year is highway robbery considering he canāt consistently win conference championships, and barely gets close.

We didnāt win because our coaching staff decided a game plan for Kansas instead of the #9 team in the country. You tell me what kind of essholes are going to run the same exact thing they have in nearly every game knowing theyāre down a 1,200 yard rusher and a starting lineman? Especially when they know they donāt have the talent depth to match it? Looks to me like they didnāt learn a thing when playing Missouri State and Tulsa.
