re: Per Sports Illustrated, the CFP expansion to 12 teams is in peril

I think everyone should be in the playoffs. Start the year ranking everyone. This ranking could be a combination of lots of polls. Then have #1 play #13?. By about week 6 or so you would know who the top teams were. Then wait to the end of season to have the 2 playoff games and bowl games.

Now for the regular schedule, most teams know who they are going to play each year. You could develop schedules on the fly just like BYU did last year
