Go to 6, so Clemson and Bama get a bye.

Host 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5 at higher seed.

Hell no. That's a huge advantage for 2 teams that don't have to play one week while the other 4 get beat up. And you KNOW ESPN is gonna make sure the SEC always has one of the top 2 rated teams so that they guarantee they're fresh.

Did you guys hear the commentators trying to say that Bama #8 (RB Josh Jacobs) is from Tulsa but didn't get a scholarship from OK and so has a chip on his shoulder? They were trying to create some kind of underdog narrative *for the Bama RB*! They literally said he didn't have any other major college offers.

Somebody research that for me. There's no way in the world anybody on the Bama squad didn't get major college offers.

This is the way a 16 team playoff could work.
https://slapthesign.com/2018/12/04/college-football-playoff-16-team-playoff-look-like-2018/

The ten conference champions get automatic bids to the playoff, just like March Madness. The remaining six at-large berths go to the top six teams that didn’t win a conference title according to the College Football Playoff rankings.

You then seed all 16 teams according to how they are ranked in the playoff rankings. For those teams not ranked, you’d have the committee seed them. For the purposes of this exercise, I am the committee.

As far as where to play the games, you would award the top four universities. Each school would host a regional bracket, meaning the rounds of 16 and 8 would be played on the campuses of the top four teams.

The semifinals would rotate amongst the New Year’s Six bowl sites, just as the do now. Same with the national title game — played at a neutral site at basically any stadium in the country.

Even at 16, it would still be the smallest playoff bracket at any level of college football.

This is what the bracket would look like in 2018.

Alabama regional
No. 1 Alabama (SEC Champion) vs. No. 16 Northern Illinois (MAC Champion)

No. 8 Central Florida (AAC Champion) vs. No. 9 Washington (Pac-12 Champion)

Oklahoma Regional
No. 4 Oklahoma (Big 12 Champion) vs. No. 13 Fresno State (Mountain West Champion)

No. 5 Georgia (At-large) vs. No. 12 Penn State (At-large)

Notre Dame Regional
No. 3 Notre Dame (At-large) vs. No. 14 Appalachian State (Sun Belt Champion)

No. 6 Ohio State (B1G Champion) vs. No. 11 LSU (At-large)

Clemson Regional
No. 2 Clemson (ACC Champion) vs. No. 15 UAB (Conference USA Champion)

No. 7 Michigan (At-Large) vs. No. 10 Florida (At-large)

You’d have to go back to 10 game regular seasons for that to work.

They earned it. Works for NFL.

Shrink FBS (or whatever it is called now) down to NFL size. Certain teams don't make it into the 32 or so and have to play a lower classification. College Football becomes more NFL like. The 32 or so teams ONLY play each other during their season and post season. Other CFB teams, probably including us, continue playing each other.

Let the cfp choose all the bowl matchups including the NC game based off matchup instead of bowls being filled by conference tie in. It’s already mostly gone away from traditional matchups for major bowls. We don’t need bama slaughtering whatever directional Illinois team was conference champ for the daisy league. Or let the BCS do it, don’t really care which.
