My issue with 8 is that a team with name recognition such as Bama, Ohio State, Clemson, or teams like that will get a longer leash than the rest of the country.
They’ll get to drop 2 games and still get in because of the eye test.
The rest of the country would still be held to a one loss max or you’re out.
I’d be down for 6 if it was 5 power 5 Champs and the best team from the group of 5.
I want conference championships to matter. If you don’t win your conference, you shouldn’t compete for the natty.

What if we go 11-1 and our only loss is a 1-point loss to an undefeated Bama on the road. In that case, I think we'd all argue we should get in the playoff.
This is why all pro leagues have wild card teams.

I agree with this. Winning your conference should still matter.
If you went 16 the winner would have to play 4 more games. That seems to much for "student athletes". At 16 or 8 conference championship games would be useless, and I dont see conferences giving up the cash grabs that are championship games.
At most I think it should be 6. Each power 5 conference champion and 1 group of 5. And no backdoor non conference winners admitted even Alabama. If you dont win the Sec you dont get to go.

It would be 8
Power 5 champs and 3 at large bids.
Top G5 team auto bid if they’re in the top 15
