Kerryon Johnson not out for SECCG

You could expect the playoff money of an 8-team playoff to be more than it is now. How much more is near impossible for us to reasonably guess or then speculate whether it could come close to offsetting the revenue from an extra home game, but it could come into play.

Sure the playoff money will increase, but I think there's no way the distributed marginal increase would offset the elimination of a 12th home game for most big time programs.

He may play but if he's not 100% that will give UGA a big advantage. Auburn's D will keep them in it but I expect the game to be much closer and they will need Johnson hammering it between the tackles. War Damn Eagle this weekend!

I'm sure dwag players will be trying to lay a helmet on that shoulder every carry. I do truly believe Auburn is significantly the better team, but these 2nd games tend to go differently than the first so I expect it closer. War Eagle indeed.

I don't understand why you think I would think what I want to see would have any effect on what the powers-that-be would do? I'm not particularly opposed to an eight-team playoff, BTW, if they get it right.

I was just following the format of your response to my post, in which you seemed to assume that I thought schools would be willing to give up the revenue of the extra game, even though this was the very reason I pointed out that the solution isn't likely.
 
Make the PAC and Big 12 combine. Few others trickle over to current ACC, SEC, BIG. Four major major conferences and the conference championships determine the playoff 4. Is all that is needed. Team like UCF dont belong anyway.

I'm not sure this is something we need to spend time arguing about... but the post I responded to

Teams that make the national championship game are playing 15 games right now. If/when the playoff expands to 8 teams, the simple (though not necessarily likely) solution would be to go back to 11 games. Get rid of the added non-conference game. It would be much less necessary with all conference champions in the playoff at that point.

nowhere says that schools' refusal to give up 12th game money is the reason going back to 11 games is unlikely. Hence why I posted what I posted. Whatevs.

Not sure I can think of something that would kill interest in cfb faster than expanding the playoffs

This. The playoffs are fine. In fact, the BCS was fine. Heck, the old bowl system was fine. Let's not take what makes FBS football unique and make it like every other sport and the lower divisions of football.

Technically no where in your original post did you explicitly state that you don't think your feelings will be taken into consideration when weighing whether or not to expand. I figured it would be fairly easy to infer that I'm alluding to pushback from member institutions w/r/t revenue when I said it was unlikely they'd give up a game, but anyway, my reply was meant to be snarky to meet what I perceived to be a healthy dose of snark in your post.

I have a lot of sympathy for this view, but I would like to note that we would be hell to deal with in an 8 or especially 16 team playoff.

That's true, too. Fair counterpoint. We would have had a shot at a natty in 2014 under that system.

This is where the 4 team playoff has already proven you wrong about being ok with the bcs.

Ohio state in the very first playoff came in at number 4 and won it. Would have been left out otherwise.

Ah, but you see, we never would have known. Who was #5 that year? Maybe they would have won an expanded playoff. Who would have won a playoff in '90? I always liked that college football tried to reward the best season. I embraced the subjectivity and debateability. But...I'm a weirdo.
