3. No non-P4 teams. Sorry, you play a high school schedule, you can't play for a P4 championship.
4. Use BCS formula to pick and seed the top 8.

Horrible no call on pass interference by Penn St WR
Boise is still a lot better than SMU or Indiana and ASU is too. 12 teams is too many and going to 8 would be best
They dont care if the games are competitive or not. They have extra games on TV making money and creating value.
The playoff will only expand from here- not contract. This is about TV money games making bank. 16 teams is probably the next move
The first round views was disappointingQuote:

Isn't it better to know that than have to wonder?Quote:

But it also gives us a chance. An MSU, Arkansas, Baylor, NC State type program can have one of those once every 10-15 year seasons where we could go 10-2 and get into the playoffs and hang that banner that can help you recruit for a decade.Quote:

16 teams seeded 1-16
1st round- 8 games (Reliaquest, Citrus, Texas, Gator, Outback, Las Vegas, Alamo)
2nd round- 4 games (Peach, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta)
3rd round- 2 games (Rose and Sugar)
4th round- CFP championship
If the priority is money and getting the most eyeballs on the product this is the answer.
