"One at large" was in reference to making 7 conferences, taking their champs, which leaves one spot left. That would be up for grabs for Notre Dame, Miami (which I pulled out of the ACC), BYU, Boise UCF and all the minor conferences.

Yeah, I get all that. There are currently 10 FBS conferences. I would rather just make 8 conferences from those, and not have to drop down to 7 conferences.

Or trim the P5 down to P4 and go with a 4-team tournament of champions.

I know everyone says they want wildcard/at-large teams, but I just think it would be best for college football in general to maintain one team from each of 4 or 8 conferences, and avoid piling on all the teams from one region of the country, that's sure to kill the goose.

Consider, the SEC champ has played an SEC team 3 times for the title, and is 0-3 in those games.

Yes, which, for the first time in my life, has made SEC football championships utterly meaningless.

the 8 team playoff with 7 big conferences and a spot for the best of everyone else is the way to go.

That would probably be the best for the future of CFB.

The main problem is that fans just want a system that they think gives their team the best chance to just get in in playoffs, and not the system that would actually be best for the long-term success of college football.
