Previous two posts, good stuff, and points.

 

I am all for expanding the playoffs. College is a different beast from the NFL I think in terms of resting players. Resting players is a tricky thing at that level. You sit 2-3 of your contributors and you risk losing at the college level.

 

A team may have very well gotten into their conference title game, but a loss could drastically affect them in the playoffs. And as pointed out, the amount of time between the start of the playoffs and the last game is already pretty lengthy. Tack on another week or two and you could potentially be without a game for 6 weeks. The margin of error sitting your starter to (most back ups) is pretty big and a loss could have a pretty good impact.

 

With the amount of teams at the collegiate level I just think that 4 is to little to get into the tournament. I have said this in a previous post, but I think that on just about any given day anyone in the top 10, and for the most part the top 16 could beat one another.
