BS. We needed a playoff system at the top level, just like they have at the other levels in the NCAA. We should have a system to determine the true champion, not some vote by the media and coaches. Decide it on the field.
Look how March Madness has made the NCAA basketball playoffs one of the most watched sporting events in the country.
The 12 team playoff system next year should reduce the number of future NFL prospects opting out of the bowl games. The transfer portal system should not begin until after the playoffs.
I think the transfer portal rules (and hence the timefranes) are established by the NCAA itself.
