1. 8 teams
2. No automatic bids for conference champions.
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.

Boise is trying to put up a fight. I thought they were going to get run out the stadium before halftime for a while there.
But, it's still pretty obvious Penn State is the better team.

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
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

If they had taken 16 teams and fixed the seeding, there would have been some good games. Or even under the current format if they'd taken Alabama over SMU.

All day. This thing is a cash grab from the kick. Will only expand from here and the talking heads will jam it down our throats about how 17ing wonderful it all is.

All programs like Boise, SMU, and UCF have been asking for is a Fair Chance! Well they get one with this format. And so far are proving what everybody has been saying. They don't belong.

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

CFB expanded the playoffs and somehow made the product unwatchable. Hey you idiots, if you're dead set on automatic bids, at least don't give them byes with high seeds

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.
Missouri is experiencing that right now and just got unlucky that their window for that opportunity hit last year instead of this one.

If the goal is having a format to produce the most competitive games then they should do this:
Do away with auto seeds, byes and home fields and the games will be legit. Home field in NFL is fine because the talent gap is minimal. Home field in college is way too big an advantage.
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.
