Does anyone think there is much real pressure to expand the playoffs "soon"?
I don't. I could see getting to six in a decade or so. Maybe.

not much right now, but i could see pressure increasing in next 5 years to force it to 6-8. maybe a bigger effect is the changing environment of tv and streaming, and how that might effect contracts. i could see the lost interest in some "smaller" bowls getting the execs to try to bring viewers back by making them part of an expanded playoff.
-
Why stop at 6 or 8? If we're going to be inclusive, just let everyone in. 16 teams. 4 different bowls/locations for the last 2 teams. Let's get a "hot" 13 seed with 3 losses as national champ. I can't wait!!!

Didn't the NCAA sign another contact with ESPN to broadcast 4 Team Play Off for a few more years

I'm not too interested in seeing some INFERIOR team winning a game because the SUPERIOR team's QB has a bad night and throws 3 INTs in the first quarter or something.

It's good that such a game has not yet happened this year.

Same thing happened to Georgia last year - half your team doesn't play and you lose. It's the new normal. Playoff or bust.

I hope you are not edging into Dan Mullenesque excuse-making, OAM.

Eight team playoff
champs of 5 majors and 3 at large
-
sure after a 3rd of the starters opt out - book it
-
sure after a 3rd of the starters opt out - book it
should we stop having playoffs because of opting out
I think there will be far less opting out on teams in the playoff
-
As long as they keep the schedule to say 13-14 games they can finaggle it any way they want.It's expanding there that will cause big problems

Eight team playoff
champs of 5 majors and 3 at large
Six team playoff
Champs of 5 majors (if ranked in top 12) and 1 at large (or more if several earth shattering conference upsets occur)

we have in excess of 40 bowl games in a normal year
fitting an 8 team playoff into 7 existing bowls would not be hard
