NFL playoffs are proof college playoff needs to expand.

The NFL consistently produces high quality semifinal and final games because pretenders get weeded out in wild card and divisional rounds.
If college expanded to 8 or 12 teams we could weed out the Notre Dame type teams quickly. The semifinal college games have been nearly unwatchable to the average fan. Average semifinal victory has been 21 points since the 4 team playoffs started.

So, more games are needed to include the teams that need to be weeded out?

The exact opposite of what you just said is true.
There isn’t enough parity in College Football to justify an expansion. The talent disparity between the first place and 10th place NFL teams is the difference in a couple of key players. In college it’s a difference of entire recruiting classes.

This isn't true
(2)
College doesn't have the same kind of parity at all.
I think 8 teams would be fine and will happen, but your logic is flawed.

If we went by the same % of teams making the playoffs... 57 college teams would make the playoffs

You do know NFL teams are a mixture of several college teams/conferences.

Riiiiiight.
The NFL expanded playoffs this year produced the absolutely astounding wild card round this year, which was chock-full of competitive games with teams that were DEFINITELY play-off worthy.

OR....hear me out now....we could weed them out by not letting them into a 4 team playoff. Radical, huh?
You do know that the wild card games are a part of the playoffs, right?
So, your solution to weeding weak teams out of the playoffs is to expand the playoffs so they can get beaten in an early round?

The NFL is on a MUCH more even playing field than college football is, and the talent disparity of the teams being fairly negligent. In college, it's rare you even see a competitive semi-final game in the current format. And there's really nothing you can do to really address the talent gaps. The NFL is able to do this with salary caps and having a draft.

The NFL has parity
CFB does not.
The leagues aren’t even remotely comparable

I would suggest it’s proof D1 football needs to contract.
