Now that the season is all but over ...
With an 8 team playoff, who would you have wanted to see as seeds 7 & 8?
Georgia Tech? Arizona? Missouri? Ole Miss? Mississippi State?
Five conference champion automatic bids plus 1 at large is perfect solution.

It's going to vary every year. Sometimes there'll be 3 teams, 4 teams, 7 teams or 8 teams. This is the first year we've had this system and the ideal number is 6. Let's see what the next few years have to say before making any conclusions.
Yes to GT & Mich State
Why not 3 at large bids? I just think 8 > 6
I like 16 and no bowls, or the bowls are the NIT. 8 is better than 4. I don't like 6.
B1G & Pac-16 to the Rose @ 3:30 Eastern, SEC vs. ACC/Big-12 Hybrid in the Sugar at 8:00 Eastern.
Orange bowl gets the second place team from Big-12/ACC hybrid and B1G @ 12:00 EST. Fiesta gets second place team from SEC and Pac-16 @ 11:00 Eastern.
Easy.
Four works . Just nut the hell up and win.
Maybe in a few years (like 10 or so) Eight will be enough.
By the end of regular season you are down to 12 teams who can make an argument, once you have the conference championships you are down to a legit 6.
I can buy 4 ... but it does leave out one conference champion and one team who gets fucked. But three teams getting fucked isn't likely.
I don't want to see Michigan State get beat by tOSU or Oregon again.
Georgia Tech got beat by FSU.
Ole Miss proved they put together one good game and then shit the bed.
Miss State was overrated.
Clemson? Fuck that.
To stay at four ... then create four super conferences with a conference championship game. That gives you your 8 team field.
Create a mid-major national championship to keep the Boise State's and Marshall's of the world happy.
8 teams as roadie says takes some of the 1st round bye politics out of it
4 teams with these bowl games works for me. The NFL plays this weekend. College doesn't have to be like them
Ole Miss and Miss State were way overrated because they were in the SEC.
If you took conference championships that is literally the first round of the playoffs.
Would you really want to see Arizona or Clemson, or Missouri, or Georgia Tech as one of the two at large?
Last year?
You had more of an argument with Missouri and tOSU, but they both lost their conference championship games.
Your plus one would likely have been Alabama or Oregon.
Again ... none of those teams belonged.
Make the regular season a minimum of 10 games, teams can play more if they wish. Teams have to play a minimum of 8 conference regular season games. Teams must play a minimum of 2 non-conference games with teams from the FBS. Each conference must have a title game to be eligible for the playoffs.
A committee is required to seed the top 28 teams. The top 4 seeded conference champions get automatic first round byes. The remaining 24 teams play each other in the first round. Higher seeds hosts each playoff game until there are 4 teams remaining. The final four and title games are held at the large venues.
