8 teams is too many, in my opinion, but 6 teams is stupid. And this being an LSU site, after Alabama got a championship week bye? Tigers have seen first hand how much of an unfair advantage that is, I'd think they would be the last people advocating for more of that.

It wasn't unfair to LSU. Alabama was #2. The #1 team plays the #2 team under the contemporaneous rules. Each team had more than a month off, so the one week bye doesn't really carry weight. The game was also played in LSU's back yard; I'd think that's a bigger advantage than Alabama's six week (as opposed to LSU's five week) break.

Hate to admit it because I'm an LSU grad.
