quote:

the regular season would have to be shortened
Drop it down to 10 game season with 8 conference games, 2 non conference.

With home game playoffs, a top 30 team has at least 7 home games a year, same as today. If you are out of top 32, you still have at least 6, which is probably more than fans want.

Possible to have 8-12 home games.

Here are the teams who would have had an away game last year

32. LSU (7-6)
33. Iowa St. (8-4)
34. Clemson (7-6)
35. Ga. Tech (9-4)
36. Pittsburgh (8-5)
37. TCU (9-4)
38. ECU (9-4)
39. Memphis (8-5)
40. Houston (10-3)
41. Florida St. (5-7)
42. Kansas St. (6-6)
43. San Diego St. (9-4)
44. Duke (9-5)
45. Tulane (11-3)
46. Nebraska (7-6)
47. Navy (11-2)
48. Toledo (8-5)
49. S. Carolina (4-8)
50. ODU (10-3)
51. Northwestern (7-6)
52. Wake Forest (9-4)
53. UConn (9-4)
54. Arkansas (2-10)
55. NC St. (8-5)
56. Cincinnati (7-6)
57. UNLV (10-4)
58. Miss. St. (5-8)
59. Kansas (5-7)
60. Arizona St. (8-5)
61. Wash. St. (7-6)
62. UTSA (7-6)
63. Florida (4-8)
64. Boise St. (9-5)

At that point, why do we need conferences and championship games?

I would eliminate the byes they make no sense. So sure it will get to 32. And when it does every bowl game needs to be eliminated. If you don’t make the playoff you won’t want to go to a meaningless bowl game (like now!!)
People said it would never expand from 12 to 24 but here we are.

If you have 32 you can expect the conference champs from each of the mediocre conferences to be in the playoff. They won’t settle for just one spot
