Thank god we finally have a playoff, a big step in the right direction.
The new system is better than what we had, but it needs to be 8 teams
5 - power 5 conference winners
oh, but a conference winner might have 3 or 4 losses...
So the frick what, if a 7 - 9 NFL team can make the playoffs as a division winner, a 9 - 5 ACC conference winner can be an AQ for the plaoffs.
THEN take the best 3 available teams.
Seed the teams 1 through 8 and BOOM
perfect playoffs

Hang on about 5-10 years and you'll get your wish.

I disagree, 8 is too many. 4 is more appropriate given the length of regular season and number of realistic contenders on an average year.

I've always supported an 8 team for the playoff

frick that noise.
I don't want college football to look like the NFL. I don't want to de-emphasize the regular season in any way.

Conference Champions and at larges..... so the tournament that every other NCAA sport, Div 1 through 3, men and women use.... I like it.
Did you know that under that format, the NCAA could award a sanctioned National Championship trophy to FBS Football.
Yeah, cause if the Iron Bowl didn't decide our entire season every few years, I guess I'd not care about it anymore.

Yeah....fricking youngsters with no appreciation for tradition...if there were 8 teams you would want 12 yada yada then 16 then 20. It will be worthless soon enough.

I think 6 is the perfect number. If you aren't one of the top 6 teams you really don't have a legit claim to be champions.

And letting all major champs in would be a joke. A 3+ loss champion would be a travesty.

8 is perfect

Take the new playoff system. Make It a requirement to be a Conference Champion to be in the playoffs. Perfect system.

This aint juncting boys you cant just play 20 games no rest with new offenses the way they are it's like having lab in dove season

Haven't even seen 4 teams yet but already want to go to 8.
And when they announce 8, idiots will demand 16.
Then it will be 24, or 32.
Yeah, let's keep going until the college football regular season is as meaningful as the college basketball regular season and nobody gives a shite the entire year until the tournament.
Great plan.

Four is too many and the selection process is idiotic.
BCS and two teams was a very good system for college football imo.

4 is fine. Originally I wanted 8 but letting 8 teams qualify just cheapens the regular season even further. The ncaa regular season is special and is what sets it apart from the NFL.
I do think the selection committee is an awful idea. Why not just stick with the BCS formula to decide the top 4 teams? The polls still factor in so there is a human element involved.

16 is the perfect number. Teams that get better as the season progresses, even with a couple of losses, could get in.
2011 Texas A&M is a perfect example of this. They would probably have won a real playoff because they were a far better team at the end of the season than when it began.
Also, great programs wouldn't be afraid of playing each other OOC because they could still get in with 2 or 3 losses. Imagine some of the great matchups during the regular season instead of the cupcake feasts we see now.

You should take the 5 power conference winners
Top independent
Top non power con winner
Wild card
That is my 8
