So, tell me about the long, storied histories of Cincinnati and TCU please. Since they made the playoffs the last two years.
The last two years the committee bent the knee to loud mouth idiots and put in two deserving teams, Cincinnati and TCU, and not the best teams. And how did those two teams do against the heavy weights?
Cincy lost 27-6 to Alabama.
TCU lost 65-7 to Georgia.
They let two of these non-storied programs in the last two years as an experiment. Those two teams got obliterated. They were snoozefests that viewers abandoned at half time.
Going to a 12 team format will lead to more bloodshed. Yes, there will be an occasional upset. But there will be a whole lot more 35+ point blowouts.
And people will bitch about it. Whatever they do, people will bitch about it.

I don’t think bringing up TCU against Georgia is fair.
TCU beat Michigan to get into the game. It’s not like they did nothing at all.

Cincinnati had to go undefeated twice in consecutive seasons (on top of two consecutive 11 win seasons in the two years prior to that, for a combined record of 44-6 including bowls over 4 years) before they got a playoff spot at the end of their second consecutive undefeated season.
TCU was one of the strongest football programs in the country for the better part of 20 years, and had to trade up conferences twice before they got a shot.
Nobody is saying it's impossible for the less-storied programs to make it. Just that the less-storied programs have to do more to get in than the storied programs do. There is built in disadvantage for non-blue-bloods and that is 100% by design.

TCU. Beat. Michigan. In. The. Playoff.
Yes, that Michigan. The team with 1,000 wins.
