Rob Mfield Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) It appears to me that to get to the championship game this year both teams will have played 15 games to get there. This makes the final the 16 game for the last two standing. Proof: After a twelve-game season a team will go to the first-round playoff game on Dec 21 or 22. Game 13. A win advances a team to the quarter-final game on Dec 31 or Jan 1. Game 14. A win in the quarter-finals advances a team to the semi-finals on Jan 9 or 10. Game 15. Championship game is on Jan 20 and is the 16th game! We are focused now on the Cedric Baxter injury. Be prepared to see a different looking roster by season's end. With a 33% longer season expect to see more injuries and new faces stepping up. It seems like this would also impact recruiting. Obviously claiming a championship is a draw to any player, but a season that long would introduce new faces would also impact recruiting. Recruiting coaches could rightfully claim that a good player could find playing time in their first year.

Quinncent McManning, Jr. Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Will be interesting to see how these decent teams like aggy and ou do with a lot of front line talent but much less depth than uga, tosu, and us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not ranked in top 4 seed could require 17 games. 12 regular, lose conference championship (13)requires playin game (14) plus quarter ((15), semi (16) and finals.(17) Edited August 10 by GoHorns1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Never thought I’d see a 17 game season. It’ll be tough for teams with depth to win it all. I wouldn’t want to be frontline heavy like an A&M. Edited August 10 by Shane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
