14 teams.

Big Ten and SEC champs are the 1 and 2 seeds.

Big XII and ACC champs are guaranteed somewhere between 3-12.

The remaining 3-12 are the 10 at larges.

The 4 best G5 champs play each other for the #13 and #14 spots.

Actually, I want fewer teams in the playoff.
I think we all do, but that ship has sailed, and the devaluation of bowl games doesn't make me actually love it as much as I did a decade ago

OK, then petition Florida to move to the AAC.
Notre Dame would be in if they were in the AAC

Iowa State and Kansas State just accepted $500,000 fines from the Big XII to skip a bowl game

I'd rather the committee simply meet once, after the CCGs 
the only thing that matters is that final meeting - why the build up and bullshit???

Yes, I know.... because it sells and makes $$$

I was perusing college football youtube videos and AI video-creation and such.....and oh dear god, the sheer volume of "what will the final CFP rankings be?" videos was substantial.  Hell, it's obnoxious.  An obnoxious amount.  
So yeah.

'scuse me I tried banging out another post before you came up with topper - that hasn't surfaced BTW  because it can't. We are attempting to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Bama's a better fit for this years discards outside the office door,it's prolly gonna all come down to the Dawgs and Cignetti's surly Cinderellas.

from ex-husker Adam Carriker - FB hero

Here’s my take on the final College Football Playoff rankings, for whatever it’s worth:
1- Notre Dame, join a conference, you’re not above everyone else. Your easy path, bit you in the butt.
2- Texas, don’t lose 3 games.
3- BYU, of course Alabama got in and not you, they’re in the SEC.
4- Vanderbilt, burn the whole system down.

Amazing how it takes ESPN jimmying things to make people actually feel bad for ND

AND after the ESPN talking heads have spent the last month pumping up Miami over Notre Dame, it's a remarkable turnaround.
