They should have planned to go to an eight team playoff this year, with plans to go to sixteen in a couple of years.

That's what they got wrong.

Hold a playoff of eight teams....after all the players pass a SAT and ACT exams.

Our service academies may win every year.

. . . with plans to go to sixteen in a couple of years.

Why? So they can have an extended season so that more football players don't get their diplomas because they're all wrapped up in football instead of their studies?

We need more uneducated football players living on the streets in San Francisco and Los Angeles just so you can watch more football games?

8 would be enough, after that there always will be some teams with severe deficiencies. 8 gets you to the standard tourney bracket, yet with exclusivitivy

No. No. No.

Abso-freaking-lutely NOT.

The season is too long as it is.

Four teams is enough. If you aren’t in the Top 4, you either have lost too much, or don’t have a quality schedule.

Done. Next.

That would spell the end of the conference championship games, and the conferences now make too much money on them.
