16 is too many, I would say 8 at most...

There aren't 16 football teams in any given year that have a chance at winning the NC IMO. Yes, it would create more games to see, but I think it would be a waste.

Regardless of whether or not BYU gets an invite to the PAC/Big12, I think BYU is

I'd be fine with 8, but 16 would be like the NFL playofs.

But not quite FCS which has 24.

In theory that sounds great, but practically the most is 8 teams.

Did you watch UCF Baylor? Or Louisville Florida? OU Bama? I think 16 is great

To me, 16 is the equivalent of the 68-team NCAA men's bball tourney and 4 is

I used to agree. I'd actually run a scenario some years what bowl games would be

Yes. Unequivocally yes.

8 still squeezes out the little guys. Gotta have at least 12. Give top 4 a bye.

The little guys aren't really national championship caliber. Sorry to burst your

And the 1980 US hockey team wasn't Gold Medal caliber.

I agree with that. It's great drama. Fun stuff. But think about who's in charge.

The vast majority of the time, true. Still deserve a chance to prove it, though.

Not a lot of little guys would get in. Look at these matchups:

I like the concept of Conference Champos and 6 at large.

I just don't think the P5, who's in charge, would ever go for that.

The 16 seeds in March Madness have no chance, but the tourney is awesome. Look

Dan Wetzel has been on board with this for a few years now
