1. No teams get byes
2. more room for good deserving P4 teams to get in if the CFP remains intent on guaranteeing G6 teams.

If it were up to me, I’d go to 24 and do away with all the lesser bowls, use the major bowls in the playoff system. Either you play in the postseason for something or you sit home.

I'll do you one more.

Kick Tulane and JM to the curb and add Notre Dame and Texas to the mix.

Problem solved.

The media gaslighted you into thinking indiana and Ohio Sate are good teams Bama is going to pop that bubble tomorrow. The sad thing is Ohio State sucks and Miami just sucks a little bit less. Miami did not even play in the weak arse ACC championship game.

12 is too many if you're talking about the best of the best. You want to be ranked #16 and be proud you are in the playoffs?
Not me. 8 is enough.

Bring back the BCS.

16 seems good to me. Preserves the importance of the regular season (for the most part) but allows enough of the actually good teams in the playoffs, which defines a "successful " season now. No need to stretch to 24 to salvage more bowl games - who cares?, just enjoy the minor bowls as the exhibitions they are. Nothing there needs to be fixed.

You're fricking insane.

If you don't want byes. Make it 8.

12 is already too many.

I think Bama beats them too....and quite possibly TT beats Oregon. Ohio State was weak on offense, and not that great on defense. Miami was MUCH more physical and that was the difference.

See I disagree. Miami wouldn't be in.

Honestly, both ND and especially Texas could also have wrecked some people....if there were 16. The key is to get the most deserving in and no more of this DEI shite.

To many? I guess you don’t watch basketball or baseball that both have 64!
FCS football has 24. NFL has 14 in only a 32 team league. Hate to break it to you but FBS football has been the outlier.

It's 16 FCS-- why not the same for FBS? The doable--sensible-- reasonful solution to the current playoff fracas.

And why are we supposed to care about what completely different sports have in place?

Why don't we also look at European soccer where there's no playoff system and champions are crowned after the regular season only?

If it weren't for the long layoffs I truly don't think teams 9-12 could compete with the top 4
