Agreed, this would be 100x better than what we're going to get.

If it’s 16 the first round should be early, like as right after CCG. Then the advancing 8 would be during bowl season.

Totally wrong. This setup with no g5 and no auto bids would be perfect.

16 teams makes sense this year but last year would’ve been bad.

It’s heading to 32 teams. Been saying it for awhile. Only a matter of time.

It should be cut back to 8


They should have moved it originally from 4 to 8. And then that’s it. Now they’ve gone too far and won’t back track

More expansion means more bad football. In season and in the playoffs. No thank you.

Awful take. Ole amiss and Alabama last year were way more deserving than any of these leftouts except maybe Vandy.

I'd be good with 16. No byes and G5 auto bids. That would be great. Give me more football!!

That’s dumb as frick. There’s not 16 teams deserving to be in in a national championship.

ACC doesn't deserve 2 teams in a playoff.

I think they need to go back to only 4 teams that make it but its all about the money.

Go back to the conferences and bowl tie in of the 80’s.
Play 13 games.
Do the traditional bowl games.
Use the BCS after the Bowls to select 4 teams

Throughout the BCS era there were only about 4-5 teams that had any kind of shot at winning. Sixteen is watered down and ridiculous. Just a money grab like everything else these days.

Isn’t funny anytime Bama fans are worried they aren’t getting in the playoffs they suddenly come up with all sorts of arguments as to why the playoffs should be changed.

They could be 3-9 and there would be Bama fans on here doing their dead level best metal gymnastics trying to convince the world why a 3-9 Bama team deserves to be in the playoffs, otherwise the whole system should be changed.
