All ten conference champs get in plus two at large.
No home field advantage for higher seed, just regional locations
One week after conference championships (second week of Dec.)
Teams Seeded 1-4 get a bye the first weekend.
5 vs 12 Citrus/Outback/Gator Bowl Orlando/Tampa/Jacksonville (East)
6 vs 11 Alamo/Texas Bowl San Antonio/Houston (South)
7 vs 10 New Los Angels Stadium or Vegas (West)
8 vs 9 Indianapolis Lucas oil Stadium/Minnesota US Bank stadium (North)
No home field advantage for higher seed, just NY6 rotation for locations
One week after opening round (Third week of Dec.)
1 vs 8/9 winner NY6 location
2 vs 7/10 winner NY6 location
3 vs 6/11 winner NY6 location
4 vs 5/12 winner NY6 location
Higher seed gets the closer location
Date stays the same Jan. 1/2
Semi #1 NY6 location
Semi #2 NY6 location
NC - Bid up for Location (Date stays the same 10 days after semi's)
Some conferences will lose bowl affiliations like the SEC with the Citrus but they would probably rather be apart of the playoff system then get the third SEC team every year.

It would surely make the post season a lot more fun then it is now. Other than the few playoff games its a mess. 50 meaningless Crap bowl games with bad match-ups usually to boot. I would love it imagine the ratings and the money that could be made when all games counted instead of a few.

All ten conference champs
Group of 5 teams should not automatically get in with a conference win. That’s an awful idea
You’ll have 3 loss conference champions in G5 get slaughtered by teams like Ohio state and people will call for a smaller playoff

No thanks.
Keep it pure and only 4 teams. Most years only 2/3 teams actually deserve it.
Last year ou was the fourth team and got taken to the shed.
ND doesn’t belong and the same will happen to them.
The faggies weren’t screwed by anyone but themselves because they can’t beat bama and honestly were lucky to beat us.

I’m for a 12-team or even 16 team playoff. Bowls games are less attractive to the fan base and players are opting out if not in the playoffs.

Why do we have a fixed number of playoff teams anyway?
Why don't we just let the selection committee decide how many teams get in, which teams they are, and the format that they will play.
For example this year you had two teams at the very top and 4 teams that weren't all that. They could have gone with six teams giving the top two buy weeks.
In years where it's more uncertain they could take as many as 16, or as few as 2. As know one knows for certain how many will get in, then all games will matter.

I actually like the old nfl style format of6 or 12 teams getting in to provide incentives for finishing near the top with a bye. Thats the problem with 8 and 156 team formats, provides no incentive to finishing 1 or 16.
With that said, allowing auto conference champs in is a terrible precedent. Have a selection committee pick all teams. That was the cincy’s, texas a&m, and georgias of the world all get a shot

We have Notre Dame in it this year, Aggie on deck. We all know that neither of those teams can beat Bama, or Clemson, and prob not OSU.
So if we cant get 4 decent teams (OU last year) why are we thinking we need more team. Yes, it would help decide 3-12....but who gives a shite. We already will know who the Champ is and should be, and that is the point.

Eight teams.
P5 champs if ranked in top 12. Outside of the top 12 your spot goes to at-large.
Top G5 champ if ranked in the top 12. Outside of the top 12 your spot goes to at-large.
So (if everyone qualifies) that leaves five P5 champs, one G5 champ, and 2 top ranked at-large.
This year would be...
Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma from P5. Pac12 loses its spot adding one more at-large.
Cincinnati from G5.
Notre Dame, aTm, and Florida as at-large.
1 Bama vs. 8 Cinci
4 Notre Dame vs. 5 aTm
3 Ohio State vs. 6 Oklahoma
2 Clemson vs. 7 Florida
Three of these four would be fun games to watch.

What if LSU, Alabama, Auburn and Florida are the clear top 4 teams in the country? They all get byes?
