12 is the right number. More than that is too many. Less than that is too few.

8 would be about right

Makes too much sense so it would never happen
Eta: couple things that piss me off. They don't say it's 14...they say it's terms state "at least 12" and they just think it's 14.
Also, frick these people for giving Notre Dame special protection and privileges.

I think 12 is the right number, but only because we have to weed out the bullshite TCUs of the world in the first round to narrow it to down to the teams who truly deserve to be there and compete. If we could legitimately have the BEST teams then 8 would be the number, but we never will because the system will likely always pander to then have nots and never wills.

how does 14 even work
top 4 byes
10 teams play 5 winners advance the math doesn't mat
8 teams get bye
6 play 3 winners
..
6 teams get a bye
8 teams play 4 winners
the math doesn't math
12 works , top 4 get byes
other 8 play . winners play teams with bye
14 is a bad number for a playoff

they will keep adding 2 at a time to create media buzz every year or two or four
they look at the general public as sheep, because the general public is sheep

16 is the correct answer.

Any more than 12 will simply water down the playoffs to a point where making the first round won't be much more of an accomplishment than winning 6 games to become bowl eligible. They're trying to make it like Texas high school football where in far west Texas there are districts with only 4-5 teams...meaning all of them go to the playoffs even if a couple have losing records, or don't win a single game. I mean sure the good team that has to play one of those has an easier path, but what if you lose a star player to injury playing a team that shouldn't be in the playoffs in the first place?
I know it's about money and not who truly deserves to be in, but in my opinion 12 is already 4 too many teams.

Expanding before even playing the already expanded playoff.

12 is too many as well.

6 is actually the right number.

2 is the only right number.
But if we're going to expand, then I'm ok with 8. Beyond 8 (really beyond 4) has never had an argument for best team in the country. Ever.
