Will greatly miss the high stakes early season games.  Most people will be excited for this and it will make championship weekend more interesting, but I predict we'll look back in a few years and realize a lot of the early season excitement is gone.
It isn't just early season games, this applies to late season games as well. Reactions to a loss like the one tOSU suffered on Saturday:
  • Pre-BCS era: Hope we are better next year, heading to the Citrus Bowl this year sure sucks.
  • BCS era: Well, with M going to the BCSNCG, we'll get yhe RoseBowl but it sure feels weird being a replacement there.
  • CFP era: If USC or TCU lose we are back!
  • 12-team playoff era: Eh, no bye we gotta play four games instead of three.

Meh, double meh, I'll watch of course.  The lesser bowl game will be trashed.

Yeah this is where I'm at.  Removes a tremendous amount of intensity from the end of the season when many of the top teams will be given mulligans.


On the flipside, I'm hopeful Gigem is correct and that it can actually serve to improve the quality of early season intersectional matchups, in order to get an edge in SOS and potentially secure byes/home games in the early rounds.  I'm not sure whether or not we're "already seeing evidence of this" but I am hopeful that it comes to pass.

Why not go to 64 teams, let's be NCAA Basketball where most don't watch or pay attention to the regular season. 

Been a steady downhill since leaving the polls.  Now get off my lawn.

How about a maximum limit on the number of teams, like 2, any conference can have in the payoff?  With each team on the other side of the bracket in that situation.

Maybe, but which teams would replace them?  You'd run out of P5 teams.

Imagine the current CGs all resulted in upsets and we had the 12 teamer going:

Not only removes intensity from the end of the season, but inevitably we'll start seeing players sit when a desired benchmark has been achieved.  Why risk your studs getting injured in a game before the playoffs start?  Can't wait to see Ohio State sit a CJ Stroud against Michigan or Alabama sit a Bryce Young vs. Auburn, because why risk it.  For those who think that won't ever happen, I have beautiful beachfront property in Nevada I'd like to sell you at a great price.    

We've already got an NFL.  We don't need another one.  

But we're getting it anyway.

Well, there is the seeding part, if that matters.

Thus the "desired benchmarks."  There'll be teams who are happy with certain outcomes and weigh additional advantages as too risky, or else seeds will already be secured, just like they can be in the NFL.  

Nothing used to suck worse than watching the Colts in the last game or two of the year when they were already #1 no matter what, and Peyton didn't play.  Of course, then they'd go on to lose after a bye to a wildcard team, or else the Patriots, and we probably at least won't see that because both the Big Ten and the SEC have rejected the Patriots' request to join their conference.
