The playoff is here, we know folks will whine about the picks and how it turns out, and life will go on.  I expect 16 in a few years.

I think there is a realistic time limit on number of games to be played of course, maybe it's 20, in addition to any injury considerations.  I suppose academic considerations are ... academic.

4 weeks in Dec would get 64 teams down to 4 teams which could easily fit into Jan

The more you expand the playoff, the more that teams that don't make it are hurt.

If we were to expand to 64 teams, what would be the argument to exclude the other 50 or so?

The problem at some point is how many games would have to be played, we're already at 17 possible.  What's the limit on that?  20?  Would they cut back on the first 12?

Dont agree at all

12 games is enough to select the teams

First of all I suggested 64 teams as a joke
but to answer your question
we would tell the other 50 teams the same thing they say in basketball

Would that be before or after CCGs?
With a 12-game regular season, after CCGs, some teams would be at 13 games before the playoff even started.

How would picking between #64 and #65 be any difference than picking between #14 and #15? After it emerged that the #64 team was not as good as thought, we'd expand the field again, just to preclude a repetition of such an abomination.

My point is about how many total games played would be considered "too much".  I don't know the answer, I suggested 20 as a possible upper limit.  With a 12 game RS slate, and CGs, as noted, a lot of teams already play 13 and then a bowl game anyway, add to that the current playoff and some teams will play 17 today.

That might not leave much room for expansion.

I'd vote to adjust the playoff to two (2) teams.

No playoff.

Early 80s conference alignments and bowl tie-ins.

Guys in ugly colored jackets making bowl deals in smoky backrooms.

Cotton Bowl actually played in the Cotton Bowl.

Perfection.

My own sweet spot would be six teams, but I'm OK with anything from 0-8.  I think the 12 opens a lot of doors in the future to some silliness.  And there really is NO scheme that is even near perfect, there will always be whining and charges of favoritism and controversy.

I suppose that perks up interest.
