4 is more than enough.

6 team.

1-2 draw bye

3-6 play in games. 3-4 get home field week after season is over.

Final 4 continue as is.

No

Well the first round of the playoffs start in next Saturday conference championship. So my opinion Notre Dame should be left out every year no matter their record, since they always miss the first round of playoffs. Second round all who qualify should be undefeated teams and 1 loss teams.
Should some how get to 6 teams, if it would be 8 teams needs to be more big comferences playing against one another. That would be 8 conference championships undefeated or 1 loss moves on unless there is a 2 loss team that won but a 1 loss team that did not get in the conference champ game would leap frog into the regular 4 team playoff at end of December. Needs to be some sort of change definitely change in scheduling.

Ohio St and Clemson played some cup cakes all year and hardly any of them ranked. Ohio St played their first ranked team all year in Penn St and barely won. Ohio St probably loses one of these next three games or all 3.

I'd like to see an 8-team playoff with the first 2 rounds played on-campus. Make a rule that only Conference Champs get to host and take the first 4 seeds. Otherwise seeding is based upon computer formulas.

Assume no upsets:

*Alabama beats Auburn
*LSU beats A&M and Georgia
*Ohio State beats Minnesota
*Utah beats Oregon
*Oklahoma beats OK State and Baylor

1-seed: LSU (SEC Champs)
2-seed: Ohio State (BIG 10 Champs)
3-seed: Clemson (ACC Champs)
4-seed: Utah (PAC 12 Champs)
5-seed: Alabama (at large)
6-seed: Oklahoma (BIG 12 Champs)
7-seed: Georgia (at large #2)
8-seed: Minnesota (at large #3)

ROUND 1:

(8) Minnesota at (1) LSU in Baton Rouge
(7) Georgia at (2) Ohio St. in Columbus
(6) Oklahoma at (3) Clemson in Clemson
(5) Alabama at (4) Utah in Salt Lake City

ROUND 2 (Assuming no 1st round upsets):

(4) Utah at (1) LSU in Baton Rouge
(3) Clemson at (2) Ohio St. in Columbus

CHAMPIONSHIP:

Rotate every 3 years between Pasadena, Arlington, and Atlanta

Judging from the one sided semi- final games the past four years, I’d say four may be too many. Eight teams is a joke. The conference championships are pretty much de facto elimination games so there you go.

I would be okay with 8 teams with the quarter and semi finals played at the higher seed home stadium. That would be pretty cool.

Clemson playing in Columbus in January

Alabama playing in Minnesota in January

Get them that NFL experience early
