I'd be fine with 8 or the current 12, but anything above 12 is dumb. You can't tell me the 24th ranked team has a shot to run the gambit and win it all. No way that ever happens.




I agree. To me anything past 8 is a waste of time.
It's all about that money though.

I wouldn't mind 16 teams, no byes, 1st game at home of higher ranked team.
Teams picked by a computer (BCS style) with no auto bids.

meh. Baseball has 64 teams that get in the playoffs. Basketball is now up to 76. I am not a fan of 24, bc I don't think anyone should get a bye. It's not really an advantage. The higher seeds should get to host and that is their advantage.

How many of you pull for underdogs in march madness or the baseball tourney? I do. I wouldn't be upset with pulling for an underdog in the football playoffs.

The shitty part about limiting the football field to 4 or 8 is that many years, the #5 or even #9 team has a shot at making a run. There is also too much human bias in the selection process to assume they will pick the right team. I'm less concerned about the feeling of the #17 team getting left out than I am about the #5 team.

I’ll play devils advocate. How far do yall think some of Les Miles teams could have gone had we had a 12 or 24 team playoff?

It will take away from the big time regular season games because teams won’t have to worry about winning as much. They will start resting players, guys will start half assing because, why risk getting hurt and end up missing the playoffs? We will get in at 8-4 so it’s all good. That’s the mentality that it will create and it’s bad for the greatest college sport.
