Six Team Playoff

No auto bids because no one wants to see a 10-3 PAC-12 champion in the playoff over an 12-1 SEC team that lost the SEC championship game. Doesn’t solve the G5 issue but does give them more of a chance to make it although realistically the P5 will always want to keep them out for $$$ reasons.
Top 2 teams get a bye and first round matchups held the week after conference championship games at home stadiums of #3 and #4 teams so there is a real benefit be being in the top 2 and the top 4
This year you’d have Bama and Clemson get a bye and then OU at Ohio State and A&M at Notre Dame. Lowest seed that advances plays Clemson and Highest seed plays Bama.
Last year you’d have LSU and Ohio St with byes and
Oregon at Clemson and UGA at OU as the first round games.
2018 would have Bama and Clemson with byes and Ohio St at Notre Dame and UGA at OU

Not a fan of BYEs. Sorry, but that just makes #2 all the more controversial.
I already want teams to play equal amount of games.

I wrote this several years ago before a playoff existed:
You need a 12 team playoff that accounts for enough P5 champs, at large bids from smaller conferences, and at large bids from larger conferences.
The games and sites can be structured around the bowl games or not. The top 4 teams receive a bye.
Conditions of bids would need to be defined like conference champs must be ranked inside the top 15, but this allows you to celebrate all conferences and give teams a lot to play for al year. It gives us an answer to the question of if the smal guy can play with the big boys that the AP and committee never gave us a chance to see.

Bama gets a mulligan even with 2 losses.
I like it if you remove the committee and have an objective set of rules.

12 team would be fun and ultimately probably makes sense to have a more meaningful postseason but that would all but kill the importance of the regular season. But the regular season may need to be sacrificed for the postseason at this point given then opt out trend

16 teams and every single conference champion is in the playoff and the remaining are at large picks.
Posted on 1/1/21 at 3:48 pm to rollthatback
I think it may kill conference championships, but everyone is in play.

It would definitely reduce the importance of conference championship games but I still think playing for a bye would be a strong incentive for the team to win the conference championship game

I'll say it again. A four team bracket isn't enough for a playoff at any level.

Split the current bowls between the third week of OOC play and thanksgiving.
Use them for good OOC matchups in cool locations.
Have only one post season: 16 team playoff
Some form of autos for P5 CCs.
higher team host until the semis or finals.

I wouldn't mind 8 or 12 team playoff if the move is to make regular season just conference games or all conference and 1 non conference.

6 Team playoff
5 power 5 conferences pick whoever they want to send (no criteria).
6th spot decided by a play in game from the two highest rated group of 5 teams.
Example Play in Game:
Coastal Carolina @ Cincinnati
Example Round 1:
Cincinnati @ Alabama
Oregon @ Ohio State
Oklahoma @ Clemson
Example Round 2:
Clemson vs Ohio State
Championship Game
Alabama vs Ohio State
No need for more than 6 teams when you have conferences. Conferences championships are a defacto playoff game already.

Use the BCS formula to pick spots, weight math polls over human
That is my plan

WILL NOT HAPPEN
Learn about contracts and when the CFP's contract is up and then we can talk about expanding the playoffs.
Until then there will be zero changes

The whole mess started when Hocutt diverted from when Long made it a point to use Championships to an undefinable Best Team

Top 2 teams get a bye
I was one of the 1st proponents here of a 6-team playoff—well over 10 years ago. And my reasoning was similar to yours, that to maintain the integrity of the regular season, finishing 1st or 2nd had to be incentivized. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that’s just too big of an advantage. 8 teams, top 4 host the quarters.

Exactly right, 8 is too many 12 and 16 is absurd. 6 teams with the top 2 receiving byes, Power 5 conf champ qualifiers and 1 wild card team that can come from anywhere. If you think the argument over who’s #2 will be controversial try the argument over who’s 8th or 12th when a dozen teams all have the same record but get left out of those spots.

12 to 16 isn’t a joke. The FCS does 24. Go back to an 11 game season and have a 16 game playoff. Baseball and basketball have 65 and Football has 4! Bowls have become worthless.
