Sorry,its changing to eight whether you like it or not.


And then it will be expanded to 16, and then....

Playoffs always have the same problem: the lose fan bases. Sure, there will be casual interest in who wins, but how invested in the eventual results are all of the fanbases of all of the teams that don't get in?

That was what the old bowl system got right: it kept fan bases interested, because their team would be playing in a game that at least meant something to them.

This line of thinking changed several years ago. Ever since the playoff began, the Sugar Bowl doesn't mean shite to the SEC anymore because playing in it means you weren't good enough to be in the playoff.
