8 would give you an auto qualify for all 5 power conferences and 1 auto bid for G5...then 2 wild cards. Of course the G5 teams aren’t working on the same win your division and get in model. But expanding to 16 teams could give an auto bid to 10 conference winners and add 6 wildcards. You’d get some not so great teams getting into the playoff, but that’s kinda the nfl model, considering cowboys or eagles might be a playoff team with 7 wins.
