Herbstreit agrees that focus on the playoff is not good for college football.

16 teams. Make it happen. It will help parity as well.

12 should be the number. That essentially gives you the top 2 from the P5 and

I agree it should. BYU should be ranked 8 in the CFP too, but just because it

12? That's 12 down to 6, 6 down to 3. Then what? Paper, scissors, rock?

Not hard at all, just do bye rounds for the top teams.

12 teams reduces the games played by one for the likely champion.

24 team playoff would work also.

Has to be minimum of 16 teams, and all D1 teams have to have a path to the

12/2/20 10:09am
I'd be okay with that if D1 were trimmed as well. Need to up the requirements
Kajdin
12/2/20 12:47pm
Seriously. Needs to be trimmed to 64 or 80 teams.
KingDave
12/2/20 2:27pm
80 is probably realistic any more and they risk having to cut some P5 members
Kajdin
12/2/20 2:49pm
There's already 65 P5 teams
krindorr
12/2/20 3:04pm
For independents, if they’re in the top 16, they should automatically be in.
KingDave
12/2/20 2:29pm
Agreed. But the problem is continued P5 bias.

12/2/20 10:12am
The only solution is every conference champ is in. Period. The regular season
TailgateU
12/2/20 10:25am
Yes, with all FBS conf champs getting an auto bid.
Unibro

Not with this selection committee. #17 would become their ceiling for BYU.
BlueFever
12/2/20 10:15am
Agreed. 16 teams creates parity inside of CFB. If 16 teams can make it, then the top talent doesn't just pool to

Been saying 16 teams myself, too, for over 5 years.

12/2/20 11:26am
Two feasible options - 12 team or 8 team
krindorr

He's absolutely right. No other major sport has the strange setup of D1 college football. The only realistic way forward

24 teams like the FCS. Give everyone a chance, and don’t make the worst teams
ZacSeljaas'Stache
12/2/20 9:58am
If you have 24, why not 32 and make everyone play the first round?
Sea Chicken
12/2/20 10:00am
FCS has been doing 24 for a long time and it’s a fun bracket. 32 would be nice
ZacSeljaas'Stache
12/2/20 10:03am
I don't mind a bunch of 7-5 SEC teams getting in

When you get too big you need to add incentives to make regular season count
cougarfann888
12/2/20 10:05am
because seeding matters

Do you really think Alabama cares much if they play the number 32 team or the
cougarfann888

yes
Sea Chicken
12/2/20 10:50am
Yeah, I think you need rewards at the top like the NFL. Byes, home field, etc..
DMVCougar
12/2/20 10:55am
I think byes are dumb in the NFL too. Home field should be incentive enough.
Sea Chicken
12/2/20 11:35am
I'd be flexible on that. Just need something to make regularly season relevant.

I've been listening to Cowherd and his take is that the 4 team playoff is going
Chester Copperpot
12/2/20 10:00am
Ultimately, it's in the self interest of the P5 to expand CFP to 16 teams..
Saxa
12/2/20 10:02am
And at that point we need to be in a conference as likely all 11 conf champs
Dangerous
12/2/20 10:03am
It has already begun. Look at the budget sheets of g5 teams for 5 years
StalwartBraveTrue
12/2/20 10:20am
I would just stop watching altogether. I think the G5 would have a legal case.
Colorado
12/2/20 10:24am
That’s what the P5 good ol boys want.

12/2/20 12:17pm
8 team playoff - conference winners from P5 plus 3 at large. Guarantee a spot for independent or G5
Gibbcoug
12/2/20 10:03am
Yes, or 16 — top 2 from each P5, 6 wildcards (2 have to be G5/indy)
UteStar
12/2/20 10:13am
If you take the top 2, why do any conference championship games?
Cougar TD
12/2/20 10:14am
Get rid of it then. Prob have to in order to play 16 team playoffs.
UteStar
12/2/20 10:16am
Deal...... It really makes too much sense.

Better than 4, but it isn't enough. With only 2 at-large spots from the P5, I

I think this is the only “playoff” in the world that consists of only 4 teams.
Heath Squashwell
12/2/20 10:41am
I don’t get why it shouldn’t be 32 teams.

Too many games for the players, not enough room on the calendar
Doogal McCougar
12/2/20 11:12am
Just shorten the regular season by a game or two.A 32-team playoff is way better
sunjieming
12/2/20 12:43pm
It would be a fun tournament. It would add 5 weeks of games to the calendar.

So what if it gets bigger, that just means more P5 teams get in.
