re: We don't need 8 teams in the playoff, we need four balanced conferences

It doesn't matter. Someone will always get pissed.

If you have an 8 team playoff, #9 is gonna be made.

If you have a 16 team playoff, #17....etc.

There are three dominant teams in the country right now. The rest of this is just smoke and mirrors to produce a fourth...to play victim to the other three.

I sincerely hope we get to see a Bama/Oregon game. That's the game of the year, imo.
