FCS has a 16 team playoff, it is fun.

If the playoff made bowl games meaningless, fine. The solution to that problem isn’t going back to a worse criteria for determining the championship, it’s adding more meaningful games (which are playoff games)

Will this result in some fluke titles? Maybe occasionally. That’s not a new problem though, and I’d rather the fluke title be because you beat 3-4 really great teams in a row than the “had easy schedule and everybody else crapped the bed” flukes of the past

If after 12 games plus a conference championship weekened you are only ranked 16th, sorry but you've lost your shot at a national title. Plus "fun" shouldn't enter the equation, it's about who is most deserving and who has proven the most along the way to be a champion. The 16th ranked team hasn't done it.

FCS has a TWENTY FOUR team playoff. It is insane.
