re: Remember when we worried about what bowl and who we were gonna play

Expand to 8 teams: Power5 champs get auto bids, and 3 at large. Of course too much expansion would dilute it, but going to 8 or 10 teams would be perfect.

I’m fine with it at this point, but I do under the argument against expansion. Most seasons there are only 1-4 teams head and shoulders above the rest. Rarely if ever does the #6 ranked team deserve to play for the NC.

This year, teams 8-10 are Ole Miss, Okie St, and Utah. Utah has 3 losses, the others have 2. None are worthy of being national champs based on their seasons.

Playoffs are fine but let’s be honest, they absolutely do dilute the regular seasons. I recall a 9-7 Giants team winning the super bowl over the 16-0 Patriots.

I’ve always wanted a 6 team playoff. Conference champs and two at large. Top two seeds get a bye.

College football is the only major sport that didn't have a playoff to crown the champion. (and by the way, all other college football divisions - FCS, Div-II, Div-III - have had playoffs for decades).

This.

It's nonsense to either vote on the champion, or have a very limited 2 or 4-team playoff.

...and people are starting to get tired of Alabama and three others being in this "playoff." At least Ohio State and Clemson didn't make the cut this year, but the NCG game is going to be between Alabama and Georgia with the exact outcome as the SEC Championship Game. I would love to see Michigan play Cincinnati in the finals, but I seriously doubt that will happen.
