I'm glad the nightcap games were worth watching.

So we could bitch about the 9-10 teams not making the playoffs?

Going to 8 solves nothing. It just moves the controversy down the line.

Then we'll have to go to 16

Etc

This is exactly what people said would happen...

We needed 4, to make sure no teams got left out undefeated. I have a harder time feeling bad for a team that has 2 losses.

Then you will want 16, then 32, then 64.

What the hell will having 8 teams accomplish other than having more teams in that didn't win their conference?

If having a team get in that wins their conference bothers you then frick man, maybe just abolish conference championships. Abolish conferences all-together to make sure tOSU and ND almost always get in.

The 4 team playoff is great. They need to just go ahead and say losing your conference is a big deal. Want to win a national championship? Win your fricking conference.

And as usual, people still fail to see the difference in say #8 and #16. On paper, #8 has a decent shot to beat #1 generally. #16, not so much.
Additionally, most 8-team suggestions include auto bids for the P5 conf champs + 3 at large. Let people piss and moan about the at large slots. The easy reply is "win your conference." That doesn't work now though.

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. UW
4. PSU
5. OU
6. OSU
7. Michigan
8. USC/WMU

Seeds 1-5 locked for Conference champs.
Top 4 get home games.
#8 could either be a third at-large, or the best G5.

We need 6.

1&2 get byes. 3/6 & 4/5 play on campus. Only other rule would be 4 teams in playoff must be a conference champion with 2 at large teams. This would solve almost every possible problem. If you aren't in top 6 you don't deserve a shot. This would also ensure that conf championship games always mean something.

8 would be perfect. 6 is retarded. A bye is too big an advantage for that small of a field.
