Spurrier said it best a few years ago when he was asked about a playoff. He said something about how "the girls seem to handle it fine" referencing the women's hoops tourny

He also referenced lower division NCAA football playoffs

AND, if players are about to start getting "compensation" - that negates much of the arguments against a longer season

I'm not against bracket-creep on the grounds that it is too taxing on the players. I am against a post season tournament which over-shadows the regular season, and I assess an 8 team playoff to be such a thing.

Furthermore, I view the NFL's playoff model as a cautionary tale of what bracket-creep can do. I view the 4 team bracket as an improvement over the BCS, but doubling to 8 would be a mistake in the current landscape.

Please don't compare basketball playoffs to FBS football. FBS football features fewer than 130 teams. College basketball features several hundred teams in the top division, so naturally more spots are needed.
