If you can't make your conf championship game, you don't deserve a playoff spot. If the SEC and B1G don't like it, too bad. They chose to overload their conferences.

This will never happen because of the money involved but it's nice to dream

Even with the expanded playoff it's clear they should just go to 24 or 32 teams

SEC and B1G would demand 20 of those 24 spots

Sorry, but the Sun Belt and MAC don't deserve a guaranteed seat at the table

Yes. They do. Win your conference and you're in. It's the only sport on earth

That works if you are building the conferences from scratch. But that isn't

It’s also the only sport with such an imbalanced schedule.

They aren’t shut out now. They have a clearer path to a natty than ever before.

The Sun Belt per Sagarin might be the top G6 conference

Not at 16 teams

It's not hard at all. Conference champs plus 6 at large spots = 16 teams. Done.

B1G and SEC would never stand for it.

You might be able to get them to sign on for a 24-team version with 10

I think this is the way, gets basically anyone in the Top 20 in as an at-large

Getting the MAC + CUSA champ in is always going to be a stretch. . .

A 24-team playoff would have similar access to the NCAA basketball tourney.

It should be 68, like in basketball. That way ALL members of the SEC & B1G

Just choose a model in which every SEC and BIG10 team get in, since that's clearly what's wanted

24 is a great number, let the homers still put 4 SEC teams in, 1/2 will lose in the first round, teams like Boise or SMU

FCS has a 24 team playoff.

Go to 130+. First round will be called conference play. Win that and advance
