Solving a problem (long games) using a solution that no one likes.
Is it a problem though? I mean, how many college football games go past two OTs are so? The vast majority of CFB games don't even make it that far. When games do start to get into triple OT and beyond range, it captivates the national fanbase and is fun as hell to watch.
College football games can get on the long side. But they dont get on the long side because of overtime games. Everyone likes overtime games in college football. No one likes a million tv time outs, including a tv timeout with every injury and review. But this is sports and anyone who runs a major sporting organization tries to fix legit problems using the worst possible solution.

While I hate it, I also recognize this may affect maybe one or two of the CFB games I will watch next year. So it's whatever

Yeah for me it's more the knowing we will never see an epic six OT game ever again.

The 2 point shootout was already a rule after 3 OTs. They just moved everything up by one period, so the long OT games were kinda already dead

I like this because if the ACC tried to strong arm them, they could play the Big Ten card. If the CFP strong arms them, they have no leverage.

ND's AD straight up said he doesn't mind this as ND doesn't have to play in a conference championship game, so at the end of the day, they play the same amount of games. I don't think they'll be joining a conference anytime soon.

That said, 2 tweaks I would make to this:

1) Get rid of the quarter finals being in the bowl game. To be honest, it benefits financially teams 5-8 since they can host a home game for the first round of the playoffs, but teams 1-4 then have to play at a neutral site. Also, what does this do for the fans whose team could go all the way. At minimium they'd have to travel to 3 neutral site games in a span of like 4 weeks. Good luck with that.

2) Outside of the playoffs, I think the ACC (or any other P5 conference not named the SEC) should try to get it passed that they can get rid of divisions. If the top 2 teams play in the CCG every year, essentially it would be an auto bid because I highly doubt that any conference champ of a P5 conference in that format would fall below 2 G5 champions in the rankings.

Outside of that, I like this. More access for teams on the fringe, for G5 teams, and I think actually brings a lot more attention to the regular season all around the country as if you aren't 1 of those 4 teams that get in every year, there is still hope.

Quarterfinals being bowl games is dumb. Keep it the way it is now where it’s just the semifinals that are bowl games.

Unless the CFP cowardly keeps out a non P5 team, I like this because I'll have no interest in a 12 vs 13 debate and can ignore it. There is usually valid points in a 4 vs 5 discussion.

They can’t. Top six conference champions get spots 1-6. That guarantees at least one non P5 team getting in.

Edit: scratch that. Top six conference champs get a guaranteed spot, top four get 1 through 4.

Makes absolutely no sense and doubt it's true. Especially with the playoff expansion. Then you got the issue with tech and okie state.

Imo just another rumor that someone is passing as breaking news.
