Why stop at 8 or 16 teams for a football playoff? Per my count, there are now 35 bowl games inviting 70 schools to some fun and sun during the holiday season in late December - early November.
The 64 team NCAA basketball championship has to select a complimentary group of small unranked schools to be sacrificed as the lowest seeds in order to fill-in all their first round brackets, so the least football should do is a 32-team playoff and if the NCAA gets ready enough, they should just go ahead and schedule a 64-team event and call it Holiday Madness.
A six round 64-team could be easily morphed into a 70-team event by giving 6 conference champions a first round bye. The six round, 70-team football tournament could take only four weeks to crown a champion by doubling-up in the first two weeks with advancing teams playing two games the first week, two games the second week, a semifinal in the third week and the championship game in the fourth.
After a long regular season, college football teams will be able to handle two games a week with only three days of preparation. The student-study part of the college football experience might be totally screwed, but think of the TV money that could be made for all and the glory of having a true playoff.

I like to take 64 teams and make the regular session meaningless. I do that

Alabama proved in 2011 the regular season is meaningless ...

Meaningless for whom? You can't mean the student athletes and their fans who next year will be sitting home eagerly anticipating the 4-school play-off which will almost immediately become the Mother of meaninglessness, except for the 4 teams selected.

Looks like we'd bow out in the 2nd round, just like in March Madness
