re: The argument against an 8 team playoff

An interesting note

In FCS, there are 124 teams currently. The 10 conference champions are automatic qualifiers and there are 14 at large invites. The 8 highest seeds have a bye, while the bottom 16 play the first round and then the playoff continues from there. That is 15 total games, or a 3-4 game postseason.

Would this work for the FBS by simply moving it to different Bowl game sites, I don’t think so. There would be too much fatigue among fans having to travel 3-4 times for the playoffs. So what is needed is a location or three to hold these games on a rotating basis, i.e. the first and second rounds of sixteen split between two locations, and semifinals and championship at another.
