Heading into the 12 team playoff ushers in a whole new set of goals and milestones plus a fan recalibration for what’s a successful season.
So two questions:
1- What will you consider a good season for your team in this new era? 2- what will be good in general for CFB programs?
For example as a Michigan fan, in the old world, I would consider winning the B1G conference a good year and making the playoffs. While I love that we won the 2023 national championship and I want us to compete for it consistently, we don’t “need to win the natty” or the season was a disappointment.
In the new 12 team era, I’m honestly not sure! Comparing to March madness in basketball as well, we as a fandom had a general sense of what it meant to you and your program to make the S16 or final four etc.
So what do you all think for your schools?
I think for Michigan, making the playoffs at a minimum is “required”. Making the top 8 would be a strong year, and the “final four” would be a great year. Plus expecting to every ~4 year recruit having at least 1 realistic shot at winning the national championship would be high expectations for the program but that I think are the right level (TBD with the new coaching staff etc)
