If they do it right and give the top four byes and home field advantage in the round of eight, your looking at a huge extra home game. And, you'll have 6 at large teams as opposed to effectively 1.
Interest in college football will absolutely catch fire from coast to coast. Every conference championship will be chalked full of meaning. And that spills over into every game that affect teams shot at the conference championship or at an large bid.
The season doesn't become less meaningful. It is exponentially more meaningful for most teams.
I think it's great. And while I have no sympathy for inferior Pac 10 or Big 12 teams sitting home, I do want to raise the profile, prestige and money bestowed on college football.
That will mean all the more glory for the Tide, who will win more, not fewer national championships under the new system, all other things being equal.

I’ll reserve judgement. I think it’ll probably be better than the current system. The current system killed the good of the bowl system without providing much good from a playoff system. CFB interest seems at an all time low.

We’ll see. Will an USC-UCLA game for a 12 seed matter after the 12 seed gets stomped several times in the playoff? I think the assumption that just a team getting in will create interest is flawed. The games have to be competitive. Right now, they wouldn’t be.

I mean as an Alabama fan I like it because it almost 100% assures a spot every year for the foreseeable future.
But I think it’s wholly unnecessary and is obviously a money grab with little to no concern for the fans. Not that I think they ever cared about the fans. The chances of a 5-12 seed ever winning it all are pretty small.

Yes but it is the six highest ranked conference champions. I would imagine a 2or3 loss PAC 12 team may still be ranked ahead of a G5 league but you never know I guess
