101 of 130 AD's are ready to expand CFP playoff...
and most want to go all the way to 16 teams. Yes!!! We need this at MSU. Now if they will just cut scholarships to 75, we might have a chance.
Sorry, 72% want 8 teams, 12% stay at 4, 11% 16, and 5% want 6.

Agree. 16 teams would be YUGE for MSU & likely make the Egg Bowl have national significance potentially 4 or 5 out of every 10 years.
Cutting the scholarships + a 16 team playoff would be crazy awesome for MSU.
Many people say that by going to 16 teams, there will be less big games in college football, but that's small minded IMO.
Will the Iron Bowl & Ohio State/Michigan lessen in importance many years? Yes
However, the Egg Bowl, Bedlam, Florida/FSU, South Carolina/Clemson, the Holy War, USC/UCLA, The Big Game, South Carolina/Clemson, UGA/GT, etc will all gain more national prominence. It's great for the game & will make college football infinitely more intense in November

I think eight as an appropriate number. I'm not ready for 9-3 NCState to win a National Title.

They likely won't but 9-3 NC State would likely have to win at #1 Alabama to move the 2nd round.
I don't see any issue with that
6 loss NFL teams can easily win the Super Bowl & no one complains about that

If they won 4 straight against top 16 teams, they would deserve it.
Bowl games are dead. They are now a fraud and money makers for bowl execs.

16 seems to work ok in Div II, III and whatever 1A is now callled.

I’ve always wanted it to be 8 teams.

ESPN owns a lot of those bowls. They aren't going anywhere.

16 is absurd. And before you start jumping up and down the only way the 8 gets agreed to is every champ of the big 5 gets in no matter how shitty they are. Plus throw Nd in w a certain ranking and leaves 2 at large at best. I'd rather go top 4.

ND not being in the ACC in football yet they are in basketball is the most ND football thing ever,.
If they go 8 every AD should MAKE ND join ACC full time.
Agree with 16 too many
8 is plenty
P5 champs , 3 at large

Why is 16 too many? The NFL has 14 out of 32 teams with balanced schedules. 16 out of 130 with huge schedule imbalances seems fine.

It would be a pretty weird year for a 9-3 NC State team to get into a 16-team playoff, assuming each conference gets an autobid. They would need to be ranked in the top 12 or so, and 9-3 teams, especially with an ACC resume, just aren't usually ranked that high.
But even if they did in an oddball year, it would be incredibly unlikely for them to pull off 4 straight wins over top 5 teams, some of which were on the road.

I?ve said it before...
6 teams is all we need. College football is special because the whole season is a playoff. Every game counts. A lot of years, you lose one you are out. You lose 2 and 99% of the time your done.
6 teams would expand the current format, but leave the regular seasons importance intact.
#1 and #2 get a first round bye
Round 1:
3 plays 6
4 plays 5
Round 2:
1 plays 4/5 winner
2 plays 3/6 winner
Could allow 1 seed to choose opponent to further the importance of regular season.
Round 3 is NC
Those first round byes would be worth playing for. No NFL like sitting of starters the last few games. ie, Bama is undefeated, has Aub coming up so sits starters against State to save them. Hate that about the NFL. Almost like an exhibition game.

Better than that... an 8-4 Bammer team squeaks with #14 seed....
Heck, I?m hanging another banner just thinking about CFP Expansion....

No on the G5. They should have to earn it like everyone else
If a G5 is ranked in top 8, then yes but they don't get a freebee

Which is dumb. It adds nothing to the sport.

Agree 100%. Can't have a G5 in if it's 8 unless they are ranked top 8. Memphis would have stolen a spot this year. Can't happen.

The more the merrier. There may be blowouts but it increases the likelihood of upsets and opens the door for teams like MSU that will never make it otherwise. Imo it would bring out the best in players knowing they can honestly compete for a national title
without going undefeated. People are tired of watching the same type of teams play annually. Give people something new. Make room for parity.

Also gives other programs the opportunity to build tradition
