Ultimately, said Kramer, he is concerned about the impact a 12-team playoff will have on college football’s regular season, which is best in all of sports.

Others argue that the 12-team playoff will actually make more games meaningful at the end of the regular season because more teams will be competing for one of the six at-large berths.

Ultimately, it will come down to how competitive the playoff is.

If all expanding does is give Alabama, Ohio State, etc. more mulligans, it will not be a positive.

If teams 5-12 are just playing to get demolished in the next round, people won’t care about just making a playoff.

It all comes down to money. That is all that matters.

Not only will your team need to be very good but you're going to need a lot of injury luck to get that big ole trophy.

Even in the FCS tournament of 24 teams, something like 21 of the 40 tournaments have resulted in one of the top two seeds going on to win the championship, and North Dakota State has won eight of the last nine.

Giving Bama, Ohio St, Clemson, and the other usual suspects in the playoffs a mulligan is about all this will do. And in a few years they will expand this thing again until they completely destroy the best regular season in sports.
