16 team playoff.

Stop playing cupcake games


meh. i get trying to find the 2 best teams from the regular season, makes the games mean more.

i get expanding it to 4 teams. always an argument over someone getting left out when picking the top two teams.

so if a team was left out of the bcs cause they ended up 3rd or 4th i understand that, however, if a team cant get into the top 4 then they werent really in the argument for being one of the top 2. thats all this is about.

i think people want to see more teams in the playoffs because they like handouts and govt cheese. lets just keep up with little league soccer, not keep score and give everyone a trophy.

if a team cant make the top 4, they screwed up somewhere, arent good enough, etc. there will always be debate for the 4 spot now, thats just the nature of things, however, number 5 wont be much of an argument to be one of the top 2 teams. 3 and 4 are just wildcards we needed to keep a deserving 3rd place team from being left out that may have a better argument than the 2nd team. thats it. just takin care of the mess of picking only 2 teams.

The word 'playoff', where you win or go home, intrinsically contradicts the rest of your sentence. Geez Louise...

although practically it would never work, I always thought the best system was a top 2 / conditional 4 system where the 4 team setup was triggered based on how close the #3 team was to the #1 team.
