If they don't expand to 14 teams,  I predict they will change the seeding process so that the top 4 seeds will include the 3 top conference champions and the best at-large team.  The best at-large team can be ranked anywhere from #1 to #4 and will get a first round bye.

If the 4th best conference champion is not included in the top 4 seeds,  then it will be guarunteed a first round home game instead

If they do expand to 14,  then only the top 2 conference champions will get first round byes.
If they're thinking of 14, just go to 16 as a nice, square number.  People aren't fans of wonky bracket creation.

I mentioned before how the #1 AP ranked team might not make a 1-4 seeding.  If that happens, it might lead to changes.  If the best G5 champion gets scorched 2-3 times in a row, it might as well.  If a major conference champion ends up say 10-3 as a 4 seed and gets whomped, it might change.

it's not really about seeding, right?
it's about inclusion and not leaving a team out that has right to participate

the idea is to win it on the field of play
if it's meant to be and your a true champion, it shouldn't matter if you have to run a gauntlet through the top opponents

The more games you play against upper level teams, the more certain it becomes you lose, even if you are the best.

We have created a playoff champion, which is fine I guess, it makes more money.

I was opposed to it
still wish we didn't have it
but, looking on the bright side, it gives us more games with worthy opponents

it's entertaining, which of course is worth $$$

Yeah, it's "entertaining", I don't really mind it, but I think we get a playoff champion, which is most years will not be the "best team".

Great for Network Moguls and University Honchos who don't risk anything. But went exceeding far IMO asking too much of actual student athletes and extended the season exposing Sunday Bound talent to more injury. Many will bail out protecting their interests and justifiably so methinks

The lesser bowl games will get "NIT'd", heavily, any of them not a playoff game.  Players will broadly opt out I think, at least those with no remaining year.  We'll end up with more FSU-UGA Orange Bowl events.

I’m happy with A&M at 14. Lot of ball left to play.
