You think a 4 team is controversial ? Wait till a Liberty / James Madison gets in over traditional power for 12 seed.

College football Illuminati just can't get out of its own way.

This is why sports are meant to be pure and people shouldn’t change them

The guaranteed bids for conf champs will still hose other more deserving teams.

This. Okay if you want a 12 team playoff fine. Make it whatever number of teams you want.

But the people who think that this decreases the drama over who got left out, seedings etc, you haven't paid any attention to the NCAA basketball tournament for the past 40 or so years.

And in football it's going to be 10x on that drama.

We would be in the playoff if it were 12 team format.

Right now, the committee doesn't really have the perspective of top 12.

I'm betting LSU would be in if it were 12 teams.

Won't matter. Few give a shite if they get #12 and 13 wrong. As long as they include the top 8, in any order, it will be a big success.

It's better to miss on #11/12 than to miss on #3/4.

It's all about more games and more money. They knew more Bama fans would sell their kids' Christmas presents to go to the game than FSU fans would go.

As for 12 teams, it should be 8 or 10 tops.

It needs to be 16, but it’s a lot harder to feel bad for the 13 seed because they might have 3 losses most years.
