Do you have the quarterfinals before Christmas and keep the NY6 bowls in the current format? If so, do you have the higher ranked teams host the quarterfinal games? Or, do you play them at neutral-site/bowl venues?

Or, do you host the quarterfinals using the NY6 bowls and extend the CFP semifinals and national championship later into January?

Plus Wyoming, Colo State, SDSU (et al) are still butt-hurt about independence

The MWC is a contender for the g5 bid, for sure.

Only the P5 conf champs would be included. One G5 and 2 at large (P5).

Ugh, 16 teams is worse than 4. Teams with legitimate chances of winning the CFP

I like 16 too. Then all conf champs and 5 at large. Round 1&2 at higher seed.

I like all-champs CFP model, but would have play-in games, not 16-team model

Doogal McCougar

Would you do 12 teams then with 10 champs plus 2 at-large?

jreid191

I see it more more like the WCC tournament. 14 teams - 10 champs, 4 wild cards

I don't see a 5 round playoff ever happening in CFB. Even the NFL only has 4.
