Do you REALLY think the CFP should go to 8 teams?

I’m in the hell no camp.

The only reason to go to 8 is to chase the upset storyline.

Even with 8 teams, A&M would still opt out…

Yes but don’t count on A&M showing up to play in that either

I go with yes. Only because I’d like to see some other P5 teams in it that have the potential for an upset. Cinci isn’t a good representation of an expansion IMO.

Yes. I think a healthy Ole Miss, Oregon, Oklahoma State could do well. Baylor is more deserving than Cincinnati. Until we have more balanced leagues, you need more playoff teams.

If playoff goes to 8 teams, why would Alabama and UGA not decline to play in SEC championship this year?

Yes. There are 3 or 4 teams that could do better than Cincinnati. Georgia and Michigan can both be beat. Nobody is dominant this year.

Would be a tough decision for A&M if they got in.

It only opens the door for needless early round injuries to affect the games that would have occurred in a 4 round playoff

The vast majority of the 4 team playoff semifinal games have been blowouts.

But there should be no rematches, if you dont win your conference you shouldnt be eligible. Make conference championships matter.

6 at the most.
1&2 get byes. Have quarters in lower Bowl games.
Keep the semi finals as is.

heck yeah it should. I like the 12 team but 8 is good, you do the each P5 champs, best of the G5 champs and 2 best at large teams

Sure as hell would be easier but I still think 8 makes for more blowouts while the networks hope for the upset at the expense of injuries that shouldn’t be happening.
