Quote:Eight is surely better then four. I would prefer 16. Let all the conference champs in plus one. 1AA did it for years, they expanded to 20, and last season went to 24.

 

I think 16 is too much. When you start letting that many teams in, you devalue the regular season too much. You also get teams that have no business competing for a NC in. I'm fine with 2 SEC teams in the playoff, even in a 4 team system, if that's how that's how things shake out. I don't think a team that finishes 5th in their own conference should be competing for National Championship, though, and that's the kind of stuff you'd have happening in a 16 team playoff.
