16 teams means the first round is 8 games. Tough to do when the NFL owns the weekends. Also tough to do 4 games in a day, unless you have games on against each other. But if you don't do 4 games a day, then you can't do the whole thing in 2 days. If you have a 3-3-2 schedule over 3 days, then you have either play games during the day while most people are at work, or you have games play at the same time. You might think you can do it during Christmas and New Years, but sometimes they happen on the weekends, what then? The NFL isn't going to drop off the weekends to be nice to CFB. I just don't see how it can be done with more than 4 games in a round.

But someone else said the second round should also be on home campuses, and that I fully agree with if the 12 team playoff is kept. Getting a top 4 seed should mean something, and it would certainly help with the issue of the top seeds losing all the time. But you can't do it with 16 teams, because it would mean the top 4 teams would get two home games, and what if they lost? Then somebody else has to host, and who can put together a football game in a week? It's a massive logistical undertaking. Just selling tickets alone is going to be insane. Or, the school that lost would have to host a game in which their own team wasn't participating. What a disaster that would be. So only the first round games can be home games in a 16 team playoff.
