Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

YES!

Doubt it will happen though.

I know there are those on here that would like to go farther, but to me a 4-8 team playoff is perfect. It is short enough to allow for keeping the current bowl system and not going too far into the new year. It also limits the field to people that have an actual legitimate claim to being the national champ.

I think if you get into 16 teams or beyond you are really going to water down the field and you also risk taking the drama out of the regular season. I mean think about it, you could potentially have team with 2-3 bad losses playing for the title. To me that would take some of the drama out.
And really if you start getting into a

ND would have a shot at making a 32 team field.

I love how you keep making fun of a team that consistently beats you.

I think he's being sarcastic.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

"I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

It will happen.

Thanks to the idiots that put two SEC teams in the national championship game.

Some of the other conferences have had enough.

I LOVE the idea... and I think after this, in a few years, we can expect it to expand to 8 and eventually to 16 teams in a playoff format. It'll be the March Madness of college football! CANT WAIT!

Some are the other conferences' past unwillingness to discuss a +1 system is the reason it was possible in the first place.
