re: I hope they don't expand the playoffs

You could have a 16 team playoff this year and you'd still end up with Bama UGA as the final. Who wants to watch a bunch of lopsided playoff games? Tonight's games were unwatchable. Y'all want more of that?

Yes, I do

Bama and Georgia would not play every game. You likely get some good matchups. Using the Playoff Rankings, 16 teams gets you this:
Alabama-Oklahoma
Michigan-Iowa
Georgia-Oregon
Cincy-BYU
Notre Dame-Pitt
Ohio State-Utah
Baylor-Michigan State
Ole Miss-Oklahoma State

Sure, they'd tweak the matchups a bit, you'd not see conference matchups in the first rd. But most of those games would be fun, and you know there would be an upset or 2.
And just like we saw with the regular season, you don't always get your best from a team every game. Who knows if Alabama can string 3-4 games together, this year? They won solidly tonight, but it wasn't impressive. A team with a high-powered offense could have scared them.
