I'm not so sure why that is so hard to accept
It’s hard to accept because I’d like to not think about how shitty or education system is that so many because can’t distinguish the difference between an economic system where the government controls all the means of production and a business arrangement between organizations

Go to 8.
Tell the P5 conferences your champion gets an auto bid. Let the conference decide how to determine that champion. That gives 60+ schools a cut and dry way to make the playoffs - something that every major sport in the US has except CFB.
Well said.

The fact that none of expansion advocates can agree on a universal 8 team format proves that expansion isn’t the magical solution everyone thinks it is.

Expanding to 8 teams will ensure there will never be a playoff without Alabama in it and it will actually increase the probability of more championships for them.

We still haven’t figured out the best or consistent way to pick 4 teams
Point of going to 8 is to insure the best team isn’t left out and take away the “eye test” by having auto bids

No, it shouldn’t stay at four teams.
Expanding it will increase actual interest and make conference championships mean more. It will also make the post season much more enjoyable as a whole.. less top players sitting out with this new trend.

What on earth is so terrible about it? You don’t like football?

It’s sad that the CFB season is going to continue to get watered down when the playoffs have been mostly terrible for the last five years
Again, it will make winning a conference championship actually mean more. It won’t water down a damn thing. It will only make it more interesting as a whole.

This.
Put it at 8, and now we're talking about resumes for teams that haven't done the minimum required to punch their ticket. Right now, it's a guessing game every year. We THINK the SEC champ will get in, but we don't know until the season plays out. That's ludicrous to me.

While the odds if it happening are very slim the prospect that an undefeated SEC or BIG champion could potentially not make the playoffs is insane.
I like 8 only to insure that each major conference is represented. Without head to head play there is no way to definitively say that one conference champ is better than the other.

Why is more football a bad thing?
More teams means more opportunities for upsets. Will they happen often? No, but it still gives other teams the opportunity.
I watched a little of the Clemson/ND game. Watched none of the Bama/OU game and will watch 0 seconds of the Bama/Clemson game.
The playoffs are boring as frick and not worth watching.
Know what I will watch though? March Madness and the NCAA baseball tournament, because anything can happen.
Alabama has ruined the 4 team format. Grats to them for being great, but for regular/casual fans, it's detrimental.

I would love to see UCF have a shot at Notre Dame. I suppose that is why you prefer just four.

You cannot say that with certainty in any given season, no. And that's beside the point. The point is we ASSUME those two schools will always have a representative, but that's all it is--an assumption. There is no rule that the B1G or SEC champ has to be there. Hell, the balance of power could conceivably shift and leave both conferences out in a 4 team format.
That's a piss poor way to set parameters for determining a champion in a national sport.

top 4 when there are 5 power conferences.
Yes, if the NFL wasn't enough, the NCAA now too can have 7-6 teams in the playoff due to being "conference champion". That's going to be fantasitc. Because they haven't settled it on the field already?
Please, anybody, list a single CFP snub that can't be argued away.

Expanding to 8 will only increase the number of beat downs that occur. Most of the Semi's have been mismatches and people want to example that?

I’d argue both Ohio State and UGA would have given Clemson a better game

The thing is, if it was tOSU or UGA and the outcome was the same then everyone would be saying Oh ND would have given them a better game.

Very true. Which is why we need 8. Eliminate any doubt

But then the contention just slides to #9. Granted that doesn't seem as impactful, but the principle is the same. And if you include conference champs then it gets murkier. Washington was ranked #9 in the last CFP poll. So do you force them in the top 8? Who does it push out?
I think an 8 team playoff could definitely work, but not with autobids.

It needs to be 24 actually. Run it by the bylaws of the NCAA and stop the stupidity
