I think that it is a step in right direction, but it should not stop here. 8 is perfect

It never really was a true playoff. It was a money and power grab....

It's a 4-team BCS system to replace the 2-team BCS system.

It needs to go to 8 teams. 4 is not enough. 8 is just right.

It would just be so easy to fix. 8 team playoff: P5 champs, 1 G5, 2 at large.

I love Michigan and wanted them to beat OSU so bad. But they did not win their conference.

Isn't the point of the CFP to get the four best teams in the country into a

I suppose so. But 3 Big 10 teams seems silly.

Not if they're 3 of the 4 best teams in the country.

How do we know they're the best? They get the benefit of playing each other.

Yeah but then you are relying on non-head-to-head perception to say who is

good point. This is proof that it is not about allowing anyone in as much as keeping others out.
