An 8 team playoff makes too much sense. We really need to do it. Anyone know about the current contract and when this could possibly get done?

Dump the Rent A Wins, go all conference play, reducing the number of regular season games, keep the conference championship, do 8 or 16 game playoff

Why 8 and not 4? Or 16? What makes so much sense?

Why not 10, 12, 14? Everybody knew when a 4 team format was announced it wouldn't satisfy everybody, especially #5. Let's say you get 8, people are still going to argue why #9 didn't get in. 4 is plenty and it has to stop some where. Give #5 a participation trophy.

How does it make perfect sense, though? People said for years "just give me a plus one, that's all I ask". They got it, and now they hate it. If you expand to 8, people will want 16. It never ends. People are never satisfied.

But, unfortunately, that's just too bad. There are too many teams in college football to have a "fair" system. The only way to be fair is for everyone to play the same, or at least similar schedules, and have the best records decide who goes. You can do that in the pros, with a limited number of teams. You can't do it in college, and so there is no "fix" to the perceived problem, other than your conference has to improve if you want your conference titles to mean anything.

Make it 6 teams NFL style with first round byes and first rounds on campus

UGA@OU
OSU@ND

For example

Or just go back to the bcs and use it to pick the top 4 and be done with this

Agree. Conference champion of all P5 Conferences plus 3 at large. There would be zero legitimate opportunity for anybody to complain about not making the playoff under those circumstances.
