Seeding for every round line the NFL would be better.

Bowl games have been more entertaining

10 creates byes. Byes are stupid.
8 teams was/is optimal if you want to get all the deserving teams in every year for sure.
In truth, most years there are not 2 clear deserving teams. There's always that 3rd team that has a legit argument.
Then you are choosing 4 teams. But the 4-6th teams usually all have an argument to be the 4th. So it's still a mess.
At 8 you get to the 6 "deserving" plus 2 DEI and no controversy at the very end.
16 is the answer now, no byes.

6 teams (5 conf champs and an at large) was the obvious answer before they destroyed everything with realignment and the death of the pac 12. Last year playoffs would have been Michigan Washington Texas fsu bama uga. Would anyone argue against that??? This year it would have been Oregon uga Texas ND osu and Clemson. Basically, what you will end up with after 6 blowouts…. More teams is not the answer. They ruined it thought and the only solution is to move forward with an nfl format. Bring in N and others to big ten and Clemson and others to sec and make it sec with divisions and big ten with divisions (AFC/NFC). Thats the logical path forward and what is going to happened eventually. I was against all this, but at this point it’s the only logical path forward.
