Comments on: The Anchor’s Desk with Scott Reister: Super Bowl not Super Enough to Change College Football Format http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2009/02/scott-reister-college-football-playoff/ A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:04:54 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: guest http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2009/02/scott-reister-college-football-playoff/comment-page-1/#comment-14535 guest Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:02:10 +0000 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/?p=1477#comment-14535 You act like there wouldn't be employees in a playoff system or that they wouldn't make money. Are you crazy? The money made from a playoff would dwarf the bowl games. Here is how- First, forget this 8 team or 16 teams playoff. Make it a 32 team playoff. Run the first round out over Thanksgiving Weekend (Friday and Saturday), 8 games each day. What kind of ratings do you think they would get? Then take four weeks off. Let the schools finish their finals, then, with 16 teams left to play, start on New Years Day and play 8 playoff games to get to 8. The following week, you get to four. Then you have a final four weekend and the National Championship a week later. Yea, its takes 5 weeks to complete, but it starts in November to get to 16. I predict the viewership for thanksgiving weekend would be threw the roof. The national championship game would rival the SuperBowl. Believe it.
