re: Saban: I don't agree with the logic that if we had more teams there would be better games

Edit: If anything, I think the reason why bowl games feel “meaningless” now is that we’ve legitimized the national championship game with the semi-final approach.

Further playoff games are just going to further legitimize the playoff system at the expense of the rest of the bowl games.

Which is why the jump is all the way to 12. Eight isn’t enough, because every bowl left over will basically be a weed eater bowl.
