Jim Harbaugh Reveals Strangest Idea Yet to Fix College Football Playoff

The NCAA created the College Football Playoff in order to do away with the selection committee's involvement in deciding the two representatives in the National Championship Game. While it is an improvement, fans and analysts are clamoring for more teams to be added to the CFP.

You can add Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh to the list, but his idea is...strange.

In the past, Harbaugh has pushed for a 16-team playoff bracket. On Tuesday, Harbaugh switched things up, asking for 11 teams to play in 15 game playoff from the beginning of December to early January.

Harbaugh's proposal completely gets rid of the conference championship games. Rather, a 12-game schedule will determine the champion of each Power 5 Conference. Then, he'd add the top Non-Power 5 team and five other at-large teams to the bracket.

The bottom six teams would do battle in a bracket, with the three winners advancing to the national quarterfinals. The three losers would be thrown into the bowl pool.

To have a better understanding of the proposed playoff structure, Harbaugh texted an example bracket to ESPN's Heather Dinich.

While the 11 teams can throw a football fan into confusion, the structure does present promise. Whether the NCAA would approve this proposal from Jim Harbaugh is a completely different story.
