“There’s never going to be a magic number,” said Riley. “If we have eight, then (seeds) nine and ten are going to be upset. If we have 16, then 17 and 18 are going to be upset.

“I think we’ve got a great product. I think the final four has been great.

Saban concluded, “If we go to eight teams, I’m sure it won’t be long after that that you all will want to be talking about 16.

“I don’t care if we have 68 teams in it, we’ll still have a two-hour show on who shouldn’t have got in, just like they do in (NCAA) basketball.”

I’ve been saying this.

Nobody will ever be satisfied.

Just leave well enough alone and stop trying to water it down with more teams.

No I just was 8. After that, it's too much.

Of course they would defend a system that is made to protect their programs

Yeah, you want eight. Others want 6. Others want 16. I like 4.

You can’t please everyone.

ESPN profits off dissatisfaction.

It’s part of the scheme as long as the idiots keep eating it up.

Money will likely drive expansion regardless.

I personally liked the BCS and liked two teams.

Most years it worked. But some years a third team had a case to be in the championship.

Which is why I support going to 4 teams so that anyone who deserves to be in the championship game gets their shot.

I want either 12 or 24 to make it a true national champion and valid by NCAA rules

should be five conference championship teams with three at large bids including a Group of 5 Champion if they are ranked in the top 15

that's the model we need

This would’ve been one of those years that would’ve left a deserving team out of the BCS between Clemson, Georgia and Oklahoma

It has to go to 8

4 isn't even a legit playoff

College football is about who people think is better. Very weird way to crown a champion
