re: Talk of an 8 team playoff for next season

I agree with 6. top 2 get a bye to reward what are likely the best teams with the best body of work, and the others get a chance to show they belonged if they can knock each other off and face the 2 behemoths at the top of the heap.

More playoff rounds could equal luck winning out over strength. I like that college football doesn't have that.
On the other hand, I like that college basketball does have that.
