Since it's defacto the off-season might as well discuss.
So right now arguably the best 10 teams play in a conference championship game at the end of the season.
They have already made the bowls irrelevent. A great portion of the teams have to pay more than they make because they can't sell the tickets. No one gives a shyt about going to a Sugar Bowl anymore. That's something they give the 3rd best SEC team sometimes.CFB is first and foremost about $$$$
No conference is going to get rid of their Conference Championship game.
The Super Infallible Unanimous Sweet 16 plan generates mo' money. Everybody wins.
Sooo... You're arguing that it's not arguable.That is not even remotely arguable. Except by some random fluke, the best 10 team will never be equally distributed between the conferences. And, it it quite possible to end up in a conference championship game with a conference foe ranked ahead of you. Think SEC-W and SEC-E.
Nope. Stating plainly that there is zero argument to support a scenario where each of the top 10 teams will play in conference championship games.Sooo... You're arguing that it's not arguable.
I'd argue that.Nope. Stating plainly that there is zero argument to support a scenario where each of the top 10 teams will play in conference championship games.
You think Miss State could win the NCRight now that would mean Mississippi St. would be in the playoffs with a chance to win the NC.
In your 16 team field, they’d be in, meaning they were one of 16 teams with a chance to play for the title. And that’s a traveshamockery.You think Miss State could win the NC

So right now arguably the best 10 teams play in a conference championship game at the end of the season. That same weekend have the remaining six highest ranked teams play three "play-in" games. That would be sweet-16 weekend if you will. The following weekend have the four elite 8 games then continue playoffs as normal.
Advantage is you've only added one week to the season and have given 16 teams a shot.
The winners of the "play-in" games which are played at the highest ranked teams home stadium would of course draw the lowest seeding.
The Elite 8 games would be played at the highest seeds home stadium assuring full attendance.
This method is infallible.

P.s. I hate playoffs in any form.
The winner of the conference championship games go to the elite 8. So that's five and the "play-in" games held the same weekend give you the other three. The losers of the P5 conference champ game may be more deserving but too bad, soo sad, you lost.The biggest complaint would be from people who want the highly ranked conference championship game still included in the pool of teams for the round of 8. I personally like your suggestion, but that is the complaint I would most expect to hear.

Like I said I'm against any playoffs but for those who are dying to expand it this gets you 16 teams and everybody makes a shyt ton of money. Which is all CFB cares about. The chances for anybody outside the top 2 teams go down exponentially so I wouldn't expect any team outside of idk 5th to ever win it all.
Too many teams, too many playoff games and it diminishes the value of the regular season.
I think four is fine but I can at least some merit in an eight team format but beyond that we are looking at college football becoming the NFL.
I believe that anything that moves the game closer to the NFL is a huge mistake.
If you aren't one of the eight best teams in the country then you have no beef when you are excluded from the playoffs. Get better.
