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.

So what does this have to do with a playoff? You're tired of losing so you want to pick up the board game and throw the pieces everywhere?

The cupcake games are also a separate problem and one that expanding the playoff doesn't fix.

There's a reason college football has the highest attendance of any sport. If we turn it into the typical "we just need to win more than we lose" type sport, the game will die. If I wanted to watch a Cinderella team or "best team at the end of the season," I'd watch literally every other sport.
