Ok with 12 teams but bring back the bcs computer rankings and just take the final top 12 ranked teams and seed them. Seems simple enough to me. I trust the computer rankings because it does take into account sos, margin of victory and record.

Or - 12 teams, can keep the auto bids, and seed the teams as they are actually ranked with no byes.
HOW, exactly, are you having 12 teams & NO byes?
Week 1/12 teams: 6 games
Week 2/6 teams: 3 games
Week 3/3 teams: ???

Unless you have "byes", 6 won't work either.

I meant 6(with ccg) or 8(without ccg). Without ccg 2 sec 2 big acc big and next two highest ranked conference champs.

8 with no byes and no HFA seems right, but the issue would be selling tickets to the neutral site games on short notice
1 Oregon vs 8 Indiana Rose
2 Georgia vs 7 Tennessee Peach
3 Texas vs 6 Ohio State Cotton
4 Penn State vs 5 Notre Dame Orange
Sugar and Fiesta for Semi’s, whatever site for Championship

6 <= perfect <= 8

8
If we are being real, at most 6 teams can realistically win a championship. 8 would give us an extra couple of games to make it more entertaining.
If you want terrible teams that coasted by on cupcake schedules or massively flawed teams like Alabama, then sure 12 works

8 teams, no auto bids, only neutral site game is the final.
Of course I know once they went 12 there is no going back to 8 and throwing legacy bowls a bone won't go away either. That said the auto bids can and should go away.

CFP...Perfect Size?
The perfect size was 8 teams with 5 Power 5 conference champs plus 3 at large (no G5 guarantee).
We are past all that because some people thought 2 was enough...then 4....until we destroyed the two P5 conferences because we just wouldn't give their champ a spot in an 8 team field.
We could have kept the bowl structure and all.
Nope.
Should have been.
Playoffs...
Rose Bowl.....B1G vs. PAC 12 champs (tradition)
Sugar Bowl.....SEC vs At Large
Orange Bowl....ACC vs At Large
Cotton Bowl.....B12 vs At Large
We'd still have the PAC12 and the real B12 had this been done instead of the 4 team playoff.

To me, 8 is ideal since it would be rare for anything below that would have any realistic chance to actually run the gauntlet for a championship.
They would have to win three consecutive games vs higher ranked teams. I could see an upset here and there, but three in a row is remote - this is not the NFL

How does every level of college football, without the luxury of immense staffs, premium transportation options, lodging choices, etc put on a large tournament-style playoff but the one level that has the resources to do so seemingly can’t?
(Yes, I get the whole bowl history.)
Maybe the CFP honchos should bring in the NAIA folks to figure out how to do all this??

Zero.
Go back to the old bowl game methodology.
Keeps the games way more fun and interesting, instead of "well, there's the important ones and then all the rest."
