re: Why not move to a 6 team playoff vs. an 8 team playoff?

I used to want an 8-team or even 16-team playoff, but now that my team has a chance to make it, I see how playing the extra game or two is less desirable.

I wouldn't mind proving myself to #4, but having to play #8 first just seems unnecessary. There's a higher chance for injury which would prevent the two best teams from playing each other at full strength.

When you think about it, seldom have there been more than 3 teams considered the best in CFB for any given year. Even more rare have there been 4. Most of these BCS years and even in the pure poll years #5-8 had little to no argument to be #1.



Still, I'm not hugely against a bigger playoff. It would add a little bit of the basketball NCAA upset fun to major college football.
