12 always seemed too big a jump to me anyway. Bump it to 6 or 8. Heck, if they leave it at 4 the SEC will get 2-3 teams in most years and they’ll all be fighting for the left over slot or two. This won’t end well for the alliance either way.

I agree. The top-8 teams is enough. Simply add a qtr-final round (played at top-4's home stadiums).

We'd be better off with 12, but all of these small schools that think they're better off have no idea what they're talking about. Everyone's tired of Alabama and Clemson winning, well the 4-team playoff is the cause of it. Having 4 teams gives Alabama and Clemson a chance they wouldn't have otherwise had under the BCS.
Projected BCS matchups (own opinion based on previous trends) would've yielded these BCSNCGs:
2020- Alabama vs Clemson (Alabama)
2019- LSU vs Ohio State (LSU)
2018- Alabama vs Notre Dame (Clemson)
2017- Georgia vs Oklahoma (Alabama)
2016- Alabama vs Clemson (Clemson)
2015- Alabama vs Clemson (Alabama)
2014- Alabama vs Florida State (Ohio State)
Yes, there's a good chance we still end up with a lot of Alabama-Clemson however where in the past either Alabama or Clemson slip up (2017, for instance) and be virtually eliminated, the playoff gave Alabama another chance. The teams that keep making CFP are more experienced in games like this and know how to handle it, instantly giving them an advantage.
It's just going to get worse for everyone else. You'll need to get Clemson to 2 losses and Alabama to 3 to keep them out, and once they're in, we are more experienced and talented than other teams and will probably win the whole thing every year
