Should stay at 12. It should have been 8 from the jump as others have stated, but it’s never going backwards

Truthfully I'm fine with 12 (or even 16) if we keep auto-bids to just conference champs as it currently is. I don't want any of that (SEC and Big 10 top 4 teams have a guaranteed spot BS).

Make first two rounds on campus. Every game is on a Friday or Saturday. No more of this Thursday and Monday mess.

I don't mind if we have 12 over 8, but the G5 bids need to stop. I wouldn't consider a G5 team unless they're undefeated.

Agree about the games on campus. frick the long layoff for the bye teams. There’s a big difference from a week off bye and a nearly four week safari

Truthfully that's largely why I like 16 over 12. No one gets a first round bye. The top 4 teams "reward" is a home game against teams seeded 13-16

IF they expand to 24 or 32... eventually LSU will get a sniff.

Why? We have teams that couldn’t even qualify for their championship game going to nattys. That’s not what college football used to be about.

I would have agreed with you in the past, but Miami is the 10th seed this year.

Granted, they were gifted a 1st round patsy matchup, but still.

The problem is 12 teams adds AT LEAST an extra week to the calendar. There is no way to align the CFB season, the playoffs, the portal and School academic calendars with 12 teams.

Has nothing to do with that. See my post above.
