Wouldn't an 8 team playoff be better?

I think 12 works if you just pick the top 12 and don't have any automatic berths.

If you want to be "inclusive" then go to 16 and you probably get your top 14 making the playoff every year. No one outside of that has a chance to win it.

2 team playoff. SEC champ plays B1G champ. Everyone else can get bent.

8 is the perfect number but it only works if there are no autobids and the sos metric is fixed

Split the conferences into divisions.

Division winners play in the conference championships.

The conference championships are the first round of the playoffs.

If you can't win your division, you don't get in.

If you're not in a conference, sucks to be you.


This is how the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, etc do things and it works.

I feel like people who make comparisons like this have zero concept of how large college football is as a "league".

The ACC has 17 teams.
The Big 12 has 16 teams.
The B1G has 18 teams.
The SEC has 16 teams.

Split them into divisions. Add a team or two, and drop a team or two as needed. The conferences can sort that out to their liking.

Let the division winners play in the conference championship, as above, etc.




I think the two division winners in each conference should play division winners in other conferences. Split them up so that if both division winners of one conference win out, then they play each other for the NC. That would really prove which conference is stronger too.

So there is no lawsuit, do the FCS style playoff.

Every conference champ gets in. Top 14 at large. Top 16 seeded. Top 8 get first round bye. Next 8 host first round.
