re: 8 teams is too many for CFB but 6 may be ok

I hate the idea of 6 teams. A bye is ridiculous, especially when you'll still take 3 or more weeks to finish the playoffs with 6 or 8.

8 is enough because you can give the conference winners a bye, which preserves the regular season and actually increases intrigue IMO. You'll have room for 3 at large bids and you can make the G5 teams an auto bid if they hit a certain mark. You won't miss any worthy teams, and you can leave it up to the conferences how they want to handle their schedules given the added weight.
