    Four teams isn't enough. The outrage over someone getting left out will be stronger than ever. I would never expect the NCAA or BCS to do the smart thing.

    8 teams would be okay, but the FCS has it right. Just copy their playoffs and make it 16 teams. Take out one or even two shitty non conference games and make it happen.

    I kind of agree but people always bitch about teams getting left out. There are still complaints about teams 69 (ROFL) and 70 in the basketball tournament.

    If it went to 16, the bowls would become totally irrelevant. Most of the ones named after corporate chicken wing joints, chain restaurants, pizza joints, hunger/nuts already are, but the rose, orange, sugar, cotton, Fiesta & a few others are worth saving. Besides, If it were 16, the SEC would weasel its way into five or six slots.

    The more teams you add to the playoffs the more it dilutes the bowl system. I don't think they can coexist without sizable controversies every year. I'm fairly convinced that they will take on this feel anyways with just four teams after a few seasons of intense playoff buildup and coverage. 16 teams would make a for a good playoff bracket but the remainder bowls would have an NIT feel to them.

    There won't be bowls. Anyone who thinks they will coexist in a real playoff system is an idiot. Teams that don't get into the playoff still might go to bowls, but the big bowls won't resemble anything thine they are now.
    The big bowls died in 1998. Hope this helps.

    8 is the right number. 4 New Year's Eve and day games linked with the major bowls. You can still have the Other bowls. They're TV content anyways so they're not going away and there'll be a bid for them from ESPN.

    You can't take games (revenue) away from every team so 16 can be in a playoff. UW will play 16 games this year to win the natty.ILTCITN

    The winner and loser of a 16 game playoff play 4 more games. With a CCG and a 12 game season that's 17 games.

    Why don't you fucks watch the NFL like the rest of the white trash gaybobs and leave college ball alone.

    Who gives a fuck about a "real" champion besides a bunch of hipster douche bag Gen X faggots?

    Nice talking to you duck fan. Headin to bed. Fuck off


    Someone has the crud again.
