16 team playoff would stink up the works even more than it would have been this year. Teams 7-12 were absolutely horrible and did NOT deserve to be playing for a NC.
You had one team in particular...the vols had already been excluded from the top 12 but it took 5 teams losing in big fashion to get them in there. So yeah,,put me down as a NO for allowing the expansion for 16 teams. NO THANK YOU.

Notre Dame was ranked 5 and Ohio State was ranked 6. That chart shows how the teams were seeded in the playoff. A couple of teams ranked lower got automatic byes for being conference champions

How would it stink up anything? If those teams are that bad they'll lose.
Using your logic, the NCAA basketball tournament should be down to the top 6 teams and the heck with 64+2. Ludicrous.
College football is the only sport where there's a vote on who wins (or gets the chance) the championship. I was in favor of the playoff expansion, and after the first year I am even more in favor of it. The bye and the seeding need to get fixed, but it was great for the sport. I'm not as supportive of NIL, but I also think players have been paid forever anyway, just under the table and in not so large amounts.
If we had previous formats, the two teams playing in the national championship would not have made the playoffs.

I agree except football is not the only sport in which a vote on who gets a chance to play for the championship. NCAA baseball basketball has a selection committee along with automatic bids as well (women's basketball and softball too). I don't know about the other sports.

The argument could be made that Indiana should have been in the playoffs, but the same argument could be made that they likely wouldn't have made it past the semifinals.
They had their chance to beat both the finalists teams and lost to both so in my eyes they had their chance to win but failed both times.

The playoffs is good for the sport.year 1 of the 12 team showed how flawed the BCS / 4 team era was. More meaningful football games is fine with me. Tune the seeding and most college fans seem to be happy.
It's NEVER going back to a smaller field I don't care how bad bama and little nick cry if anything it will expand.

Yes, that's true, but there's a big difference in voting for two or four teams and 64 teams. My wording wasn't done well, but that was the point I was trying to make…in college football a committee or computer used to "pick" the best two or four teams and give only those teams a chance at the national championship. Championships are not to decide who the best team in the country is definitively, and I am in favor of allowing more teams to have the opportunity to hoist the trophy for their school instead of just a few. Especially when there is no way to judge who is better since the don't play each other or even play the same teams.

I don't mind the 12 team playoff but I don't think it should grow anymore.
I think the goal should be to get the best 2 teams. Some of those things is what makes college football unique. I've always been a fan of bowl games and college football traditions.

Do away with conference championship games and go to 16 teams.
You win your conference during the season, and you're in.
No byes, 8 games on the top 8 teams home fields for the first round.
Then move to four bowl game sites.

Definitely agree to end conference championship games. I also think the national championship should be the Rose Bowl every year as it is the biggest stage in college football. And play it on New Year Day by having playoff games each weekend after the regular season and a bye week before the Natty.
