College football is special because every single game matters. Every game feels like a playoff game. If you move to an 8 game play off, you'll have 3 loss teams getting in.
An 8+ team playoff ruins college football. Period.

False. Freaking cupcake games and the glut of bowls are the bane of this sport.

You'd have a ton of games mattering if P5 + 3 at large are in the running. CCGs matter. OOC would matter.
Hell, let the schools host the opening round. Those games would really matter.

That'd likely be a rare occurrence. Even so, give me a 3-loss at large bid who lost to 3 other teams in the playoff field by, say, a kick-six, a blocked XP, and a hail mary over what we have now.

As TBird said, it will help the sport because teams will be rewarded more for playing Power 5 OOC games.
But even if you are right- why should I the A&M fan give a frick about what college football is today? Right now it is a god damn caste system and my program is in the unclean caste.
Give me a "ruined" college football any day where we have a shot over what college football currently is where we only have a shot if OU, Texas and LSU are all down at the same time. I am sick of waiting for those stars to align, I would rather burn it down Trump voter style and have a sport I can care about more because my team (and every non-blue blood like my team) has a shot.
The best part about college basketball is the Cinderella and an eight team playoff adds that dynamic to this sport.
