Will it carry the same accomplishment. I'm afraid teams, universities will simply celebrate the fact of just being in the final 4 rather than winning the title like it has been it. I know winning cbb title is huge but teams but generally the final 4 is more well known

Good question, but I seriously doubt it. There are so many more highest division basketball teams.

You are 1/100, if you make it to final four. You are 1/30, if you make the football final 4.

Any team that makes the final 4 has to win a 16 team region. That is a real accomplishment in its own right.

I had a similar thought yesterday. Next year the Rose Bowl will be a semifinal game. Will teams celebrate a Rose Bowl win or be businesslike and act like it was just a step to the National Championship game?

This is not the case. The Rose Bowl is just one of the host sites of the semi final. There will be a Rose Bowl game completely seperate from the Final 4 playoff.

True, but making the playoffs is more impressive than making the tournament. Most large conf teams with a pulse make it. Even GT made it to the NCG going .500 in the ACC.

The CBB Final 4 is special because you have to win to get there. The CFB Final 4 is nothing but a popularity contest so no it will not be as celebrated

Eventually it'll be an 8 team playoff

Getting to the CBB final 4 is a much bigger accomplishment...gotta win 4 in a row to get there (or 5 if you are in the play-in game). CFB is still too political and a 4 team playoff is not enough. Needs to be at least 8 IMO to reduce the controversy on who deserves a shot. There is too much parity these days to hand pick 4.
