under ideal circumstances, 8 is too many playoffs teams, but in college football as it stands today - its a necessity.

regular season scheduling is largely regional and, as such, it is ruining our abilities to effectively evaluate different conferences at the national level - that is why we need more playoff games in order to do so.

Ohio State, Stanford, and even Houston could all have been viable playoff candidates.

They won't go to 8 unless all of the P5 can have championship games. 12-1 championship game winner looks a lot better than 11-1 round-robin champ.

I don't necessarily agree. Sure, it isn't like the NFL where you can really judge objectively, but by and large the top teams play equally tough schedules. At least close enough to be able to adequately judge two teams side-by-side. It is a little tough with the 4/5 teams, but I am ok with that. Much better than a system that requires 5 P5 champs and 1 non-P5 team, which is how I see an expansion going.
