No, it can't be done easily at all. Not at all.

The problem is that you're thinking of it as a fan of one of the elite teams that would benefit.

If you expand the field to 8, 12, or 16 teams, there are still 80-100 teams who will never sniff the playoffs in your lifetime. Not even in your children's lifetimes.

Why should the Wake Forests and the Purdues and the MTSUs and the FAUs of college football give up the revenue of the 11th or 12th game just so fans of the elite 10-20...the LSUs and Georgias, for example, have a better chance of getting in the playoffs?

How do you sell 80 schools who won't get in even a 16 team playoff in 100 years on the idea of cutting games? It can't be done.
