I think next year the field expands to 14...it will be a real playoff system. Though that’ll mean big fights over why #15 isn’t in the contest.
14 is WAY too many. That’s 3 extra games at least for the final 2, and possibly 4 extra games.
12. First four, who must be conference champions, get byes. Highest ranked Group of 5 schools guaranteed the 12th seed, if they aren’t already in.
It expands to 12 teams.
