Playoffs need to move to home field advantage for everything but championship.

Maybe semifinals if you have 12–16 teams.

My proposal for an 8 team playoff:

While I agree, I don't think that will happen. Too much power and money in the bowls.

Allow teams who lose in earlier rounds to play in a bowl game then.

I think P5 teams would happily pocket gate revenues.

As for G5 #3, sometimes the team can't control that themselves. Why would a p5

That is one of the biggest flaws with my idea I agree. I’m not sure how you fix that

Take off that criteria. If they go undefeated, they have to be ranked a certain

I guess that works if you’re using the computer ranking system. We know a committee would leave them out

I think a G5 should have a guaranteed spot, as long as they are ranked top 12,

I like some of your ideas, but why must the P5 teams have 10 wins, but G5s don't

G5 would have to have 13 wins, presuming they have a CCG.

G5s must go undefeated

Just take the top 8 teams. Forget all the qualifiers, conferences, etc.

I like the CCG as a play in type game.

If you want to have restrictions for conference champs, why not just say

What if 2 G5’s meet the criteria? Also, I’d say 11 wins for the P5 champ,

So, auto bids

95% of the time, yes. But remember the unranked Big East teams that played NY6 Bowls? That’s what I’m trying to avoid

DieHarder

Um, NO. Any 8-team playoff that doesn't guarantee a spot for the P5 champions

Pretty much every P5 champ the last 10 years would get an auto bid. The idea is to eliminate fluke 9 win conf. champs

I like it.
