What an 8 Team Playoff would look like using 12/03 CFP Ranking

Obviously, the final Top 8 after this weekend will look different than this Top 8, but even just using just this week’s ranking, who wouldn't want to see this playoff bracket?
More teams get a chance to have to win it on the field, not in the committee room, and that’s a plus to me.
There are some great match ups here right now, and even though changes will happen, this week's 8 team bracket is still an improvement over the 4 team bracket.
Having the 1st round games at the home stadiums of the Top 4 is a big reward for making the Top 4.
After next weekend, this bracket will be the 5 Power 5 conference champs and 3 at large teams, which is what many really want to see.

For those who wonder what a 16 team bracket would look like using this week’s CFP rankings, here it is:
8 games and all of them are fresh with no repeats to games this year, although some have met in years past

That's a cute exercise but I bet the committees rankings would be different if that's how things were decided.

Can't help but notice that if you rearranged the seeds slightly so conference teams played each other you'd get 3 of these 4 quarterfinal games this weekend. OSU/Wisconsin, LSU/Georgia, Oklahoma/Baylor. And then the cripple fight conference champs get to play each other in the other one.
I don't know if this is an argument for or against expansion

No, this is stupid. Going to a playoff was a stretch, but there is usually a clear tier 1 of CFB each year and it’s usually 2-3 teams like OSU/Ohio State/Clemson this year.

It would be a different top 8 - they'd give the gumps a mulligan got sure.

If it should be expanded, either make it 6 or 10.
Six: all five P5 champs plus highest ranked G5 champ.
Ten: all ten D1 conference champs.
Sorry Notre Dame, get with the times.

Where and when would the Baton Rouge game be played?
More complicated question than you think.

Absolutely blows my mind that people could be in favor of an 8 team playoff system, especially when these sort of graphics are posted.
Yal do realize that 6 of the 8 teams already are going to play each other this weekend, right? We already have a pseudo-8 team playoff, not to mention that either Clemson or Utah lose, and they’re out.
We already have a three round playoff system, it just starts this weekend. How the frick does no one seem to understand this?!?!?
