UCF and the Big Tens Bowel domination will both be big steps towards the 8 team playoff. Every Power 5 Champ, the highest rated Gang of 5 team, two wild cards.
Its going to happen.
I don't see how an 8 team playoff is an upgrade. Anything more than 4 teams will kill the regular season and bowl games but that isn't a lot of revenue to make up for it.
Like basketball quickly learned you have to expand as far as possible while still making the tournament interesting. It makes way more sense to go straight to 16 teams.
11 game regular season, 9 conference games mandatory, no more CCGs. Make an NIT type playoff with 16 teams as well. You're basically rewarding the Top 25 and it will be infinitely better than the bowl system.
The higher seed hosts until the Final Four. Full stadiums for all the games and the money goes to the actual participants instead of a useless third party.

I'm ok with expanding to 16, but that might be overkill.
Anything that kills the bowl games is a good thing.

I don't think it's overkill at all. Doing and NCAA and NIT type thing would add even more interest.
The "worst" matchup of a 16 team this year is Clemson vs Sparty. Sparty could easily win that game in Death Valley.
The next wouldn't happen because the committee isn't letting OU and TCU play for a third time.
An ND and Georgia rematch would be widely received and that's the supposed to be the third worst matchup.
Every year would be like this. There would be nothing left to bitch about and the post season would have meaning for pretty much every team that had a solid season.

You don't deserve the natty if you choose to skip the #1 team in the polls.
The writers and coaches who know more about football than you ever will picked the correct champion.
Fuck off.
Only a fucking idiot thinks '84 BYU was a true natty winner. They barely beat the WAC teams on their schedule and 6-5 Michigan.
Give me another team to consider instead.
Expand it to 8.
Yeah Sven, that's totally it.

They should have been banned from the top 10 for that alone.
Washington chose the inferior opponent for the money instead of choosing the best opponent for the national title.

Time to let go of the past.
The old system is dead and buried forever under the manboobs of Hitler Gilby

Not only did UCF play only 11 regular season gaymes - but its really hard to determine if their best win was Austin Peay or Maryland.
