On campus playoff games will only make the non-playoff bowls even more meaningless. Why even have bowls at this point

It's going to be a bunch of rematches, and/or will feature a lot of teams from the same conference in the final 4/2, and people will complain and viewership in the final games will drop.
This is just a case of people trying to make a quick buck today without a care for the long term consequences in the future.
It's really not that much different than what did Nascar in. Nascar tried constantly to add more "entertainment" and more desire to watch the end of the season. They would try and manufacture close endings, reset points(that's what a playoff is) to keep things close and keep drivers who didn't really deserve a chance, to have a chance.
All this shite for an effort to create more excitement, but it was all artificial bullshite and they drove the fans away.
So we are going to throw about 9 teams every year into the playoffs who don't really deserve it, reset the records, in order to trump up artificial excitement that will not last.
Between this and all the NIL stuff, the end is very near. People wonder about when Saban is retiring, but by the time that happens people might not even care anymore after these fricks get done.

Agreed. Under a 12 team playoff, you're letting teams with 3 or 4 losses in. I don't know why those teams "deserve" a shot

Because the playoff people want the money the bowl games would get. They'll share with the top bowl games just to get their approval as they have thus far, but then they can safely cut out the others.
It's a money grab. Because there is nothing about it that is good for the sport long term.

And get ready for more blow out playoff games.
#12 upsets #5 then gets to face #1 the next week.
Sounds like a great match up.
In the end, we end up with the same 5-6 teams that are always in the conversation.
Win-win for everyone but the players.

They will quickly backtrack on this when 4 SEC teams get in.

Why do you and so many on this board STILL not understand that bowls were NEVER EVER about rewarding the best teams? They were first created to promote tourism in winter months and then morphed into being live sports content for TV networks to broadcast.
THATS why we will still have bowls. Schools will be fine with it too b/c it's a 3 hour commercial for their school. Why do you think none of the schools actually care about "losing" money when going to a lower tier bowl? It's because it's really just an ad. They aren't really meant to be a revenue streams for schools.

Giving more fans of more schools a reason to care about what happens to their team throughout the year is absolutely good for the sport. This isn't even questionable.

12/5 wouldn't face 1, they would face 4

They don't. It's the only way to keep G-5 teams, the Pac-12, non-OU Big-12 teams, and non-Clemson ACC teams relevant though, which is the actual goal.

And another reason. It takes a special kind of stupid to believe that a 12 team playoff will somehow create an opportunity for the 100 teams that will still never sniff those playoffs in your lifetime.

Eighty percent of those teams still won't be relevant.
Hell, expand it to 32 teams. Vandy, Wake Forest, Purdue, MTSU, Troy, etc, etc, etc, still won't get in anytime in the next 100 years.

Off of the list given the B1G and SEC each would have had 4 teams in once and the B1G had three teams in more times than any other conference.

Yep, and barring some freak circumstances, I expect we'll see the same familiar teams at the end.
And then everyone else will complain, and we'll talk about changing the system again, just like we did with the polls, the computer polls, the BCS, the CFP, etc.
This is a non-stop process to keep the SEC from dominating college football. It hasn't worked.
