No, this is stupid. Going to a playoff was a stretch, but there is usually a clear tier 1 of CFB each year and it’s usually 2-3 teams like OSU/Ohio State/Clemson this year.

I tend to agree.

The only reason I would want an 8-16 team playoff is because it would likely further expose the massive gulf between the SEC and other conferences.

And considering SEC pride isn't something I consistently care about, I'm ok with 4

I honestly like the on-campus game idea. But, schools will never go with it because of how long it takes to prepare for a home game, especially one during the holidays. Students would likely be gone during the break, so it wouldn't be the same.

But there are a million bowl games that could be ready to go for a 8-team or 16-team playoff. Make it happen. The regular season is already water down now, so might as well make a few weekends in December/January very exciting.

So in an eight team playoff, the championship game would be LSU vs Georgia.

I bet you thought the undefeated Patriots were going to destroy the Giants.

How is that any different from the NFL playoffs?

While I agree that very rarely is even #5 good enough to pose a threat in the playoffs- this is more football which I don't think is stupid. Imagine a first round playoff game in Death Valley on December 21st against Notre Dame (or December 14, CCG might get the axe if they ever expanded to 16). I mean frick me, it would be amazing

The real kicker would be if teams from down here had to travel up north to play. Florida going to Wisconsin to play in December. I don't think they've played a non conference road game out of the state since the Kennedy administration. Talk about jumping right into the deep end.
