Missed out on a great season for a 12 team playoff this year

Looking at the rankings, there would be a lot of very good matchups for the 1st/2nd round of the playoffs
If the season ended today, it might look something like this, with the higher seeded teams getting home games for the first round…
5 Oregon
12 Oklahoma
Winner would face #4 FSU
6 Ohio St
11 Ole Miss
Winner would face #3 Washington
7 Texas
10 Penn St
Winner would face #2 Michigan
8 Bama
9 Mizzou
Winner would face #1 UGA
I can’t wait until they change the format, there’s gonna be so much good football to end the year
Which matchups would y’all want to see most?

Agreed. This was the best year in recent memory for one.

Maybe you would have had that playoff this season if not for the petty Pac 12 and Big 10 along with the Rose Bowl, one of which will cease to exist.
Their delay tactics prevented it from happening sooner.

This year would’ve been the best year for it in recent memory. I’m not sure how that justifies completely nuking from orbit 100+ years of history but I suppose I’m in the minority.

12 Oklahoma
Wouldn't this be the highest ranked G5 Champion?

Is the format next year not going to reset the bracket after each round so the lowest and highest remaining seeds play each round?
For example, if #12 Oklahoma were to beat #5 Oregon….in a fixed bracket they’d still play #4 FSU instead of #12 playing #1 UGA

And so much less meaningful football during the season.
Sorry, but we had an average of 4-5 meaningful games per week during the regular season, going back to LSU-Florida State in week 1. Texas-Alabama meant something. So did Oklahoma-Texas.
Notre Dame-Ohio State, Ohio State-Michigan, LSU-Alabama and so forth.
We have five conference championship games this week where undefeated UGA, FSU, Michigan and Washington plus 1-loss Texas are done if they lose. Under a 12 team playoff, those teams would simply suffer a lower seed in the playoffs.
We haven’t made college football “better”. We’ve added an extra two weeks of four games each that greatly cut back on the significance of the regular season.
