16 w/ no byes. Too many games can potentially water down the end result.

I don’t want to see teams playing that haven’t really earned being there, or teams advancing on fluke wins.

I'll say it again, the playoff needs to be expanded. Yesterday.

It wouldn't be too many.

Eliminate the conference championship games

It doesn’t hurt anything to have bowl games for the teams that don’t make the playoff.

I mean, I don’t care that they have bowl games, I just find them completely

I disagree that they are uninteresting but they have always been exhibition games with at very most 3 exceptions a year

What you just described should go away forever. Death to bowl games.

Other than BYU’s game, I won’t watch a single non playoff game.

So do most fans. Attendance stinks.

But they draw huge ratings - so they're worth serious $$$

The CCG bring huge $$$ to the conference. The B12 shouldn't get rid of their game.

Add an NIT tourney while you are at it. People will watch

FBS has about 70 teams too many. Also, you don’t want the post season to drag on too long.

I agree. No byes and 16 seems like the optimal choice.

True, that way you could get more SEC teams in

Then cut it back to eight. Byes are the most idiotic thing about the CFP.

Byes make it so the regular season has some meaning

I love the byes. The B12 was unfairly judged this year. The Big 10 isn't nearly as good as advertised. ASU certainly

Who cares if Alabama gets in. If they're not good they'll lose.

We're one game in. Let it play out a few seasons.

IronPotato

There is no way to expand the playoff without hurting the regular season. A 24 team playoff would be awesome in a vacuum

Do you REALLY need 10-3 UNLV or 9-3 Syracuse?

krindorr

No, but why wouldn't we.
