Ha, just looked I'm dum.
Either way, comparing losses as a way to determine who is deserving isn't a very good indicator.
Didn't watch the sugar, I apologize.

8 team playoff would be great for entertainment purposes.
I think you'd lose in attendance though. It's already tough as is for the non championship games because fans that can only go to one of the games have to choose. Add another game in there and that makes that choice even harder.
I know it's a good problem to have I guess, but it's still something to think about.

Let's disagree here. I know Texas sucks, but 1 loss is better than 2 losses. 2-loss teams should not regularly have a shot (and that is coming from an LSU fan).

I like it how it is. I liked the BCS how they tried to get the 2 best teams to play for the championship.
But sometimes the #3 team had an argument.
So to remedy that, they added the #3 team and #4 team to the mix so now everyone who is deserving of playing for the National Championship can decide it on the field.
It's perfect.
There is no need to expand it to 8 teams. I like the high-stakes of college football how it was with the BCS and how it is now.
I don't want the #8 team getting a shot.

When Ohio State doesn't play in the sugar bowl its not a NY6, we've already established that.

I made an error and fessed up to it. And I don't lime to edit my errors for posterity sake, but comparing losses especially bowl losses to determine who should be in the CFP isn't a very good way to go about business.
I'm dum tho

the only expansion I'd see working is a 6 team playoff with the top 2 getting a bye.

I don't want an 8-team playoff either.

not necessarily, but you could argue Stanford/Oklahoma till the cows come home and be right on both sides of the argument. That doesn't get fixed going to 8 teams. They made the call, and left out the team with 2 losses. Oklahoma won a P5 conference with 1 loss and looked very good down the stretch. I don't see the big issue.
At least in the scenario above, we can argue 2 good teams. With an 8-team playoff, we would have been arguing over FSU, Notre Dame, or Houston getting in

I would if it's the top 8 teams, no conference tie in.
Top 6 is growing on me too.

I do think 8 is too many teams to get a crack at a NC. This does devalue the regular season when (especially big name) teams will have seemingly consequential losses largely invalidated by their inclusion in the playoff.
Having said that, it seems inevitable now. Six would be preferable but 8 will happen IMO. The best we can hope for is a logical schedule and qualification system. Spacing out the rounds of the playoff seems like the obvious first step to me.
First round
(two weeks after the last week of the season):
Top Four teams host the bottom four in their stadiums.
Second round
(one week after Christmas, either Saturday or Monday depending on what comes after the New Year's Day Bowl games):
"Neutral" Site Bowl Games with 1vs4 and 2vs3
Final round
(The Monday after the second round):
Championship Game

The only good thing about an 8-team playoff is that teams could schedule harder since they could probably lose 2 games and still make it.
If they go to 8, they will guarantee the P5 teams their conf champ. That fricking blows. There are years where a team could be 9-3 from the ACC and make it in over a 1-loss team that finished second in another conference. Political and media pressure will NEVER let them just choose the Top 8 ranked teams. For that reason, I don't like it.

I like the idea of 8 but they have to move up the games. This would obviously add another week and I don't want college football going into February. As it is now I think the Championship game is too late.
lol
u add no extra weeks
8 teams play
1 week off
4 teams play
1 week off

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.
