6 team giving the top two teams byes.
CFB is one of the few sports left where the regular season means something. A 16 team playoff shatters that

Au contraire, you'd see some badass OOC matchups in a 16 team playoff. Everyone would be trying to increase their SOS to get into the "tourney." It would make march madness pale in comparison. It would be awesome.
That said, it's too many games for unpaid players. College teams already play like 33% more snaps than the NFL. So a 12 game regular season is like a 16 game NFL season. Now you're asking them to play a conference championship. You add 3 games (in an 8 team playoff), and that's like 4 NFL games.
So you want kids to play 20 games a year for free? More if you go to 16. Good luck.
I think they need to drop the regular season down go 10-11 games.

I'd like to make being one of the top two ranked schools actually mean something.
At the very least the 1st round should be home games for the higher ranked team.
Western Michigan is undefeated. I know they haven't played anyone but you can say that about most teams. It would be good to see one or two teams per year like that get a shot

Why? So we can all feed bad for them and see how much they don't belong? It's a waste of our time.

They're a ranked team. They may even be above a&m at the moment so I don't know why a&m should get consideration but not them.

Gipper probably thinks you're talking about coaches on their family tree.
About the only coaches on the Harbaugh family tree are the family members. The guy he touted is an Urban Meyer guy.....HC of MD, was Meyer's asst. coach at both Utah and Florida, I believe. Or BGSU

You can't take a one loss team over 2 loss champ from that same teams conference. Especially when those teams played to OT.
I think OSU still needs some help to make the playoff if the committee values conference championships at all

Sure you can. The committee can do whatever it wants. Its stated goal is to get the 4 best teams. Winning a conference is only 1 aspect of that.

The help they need is to beat Michigan. (and MSU too). That itself will take them over any barrier needed.

Without an early bye how does a 6 team work? An 8 team does several things like allow for the P5 teams and several at large teams, 8 just pairs off better and would work.If anything, I'd go to a 6 team playoff first.
And who doesn't think 16 might make some intriguing matchup games, 1/16, 2/15 etc.
And yes first round home games for higher seeded teams.

Oh my YSU Penguins should be back in the D-1AA Sweet Sixteen again under Bo Pelini, they've ONLY made the playoffs once since Tressel left!

I basically agree. 8 teams gets you the P5 automatic qualifiers, plus 3 wildcards. This year, such a system could in fact let you have OSU/Mich and Penn St. all make it, plus Louisville and Clemson.
If you went to 16 teams, then you would probably have to have automatic qualifiers from the Conf USA, the AAC , the MAC , the Sun Belt, the Mountain West also get in. 10 automatic qualifiers, 6 wild cards.
It would work. (it does work for FCS). While no team gets a bye, the top seeded teams would get to perhaps host games vs. Sun Belt/MAC etc. champs.

Not if it dilutes the regular season.
Top teams would be able to have 3 losses and it won't matter. I think 16 is way too many and 8 might be too.

Before that with Meyer at BG and Florida.
Not a great showing to this point vs. his mentors. What? 59-3 and 62-3?

Yeah, well, it's Maryland.
He's doing a great job recruiting though.

Consideration in the playoff? Who said A&M should right now?

In a hypothetical expansion of the playoffs, war. I thought that was clear.

Oh, my bad. I forget context sometimes when I'm responding, especially since this site only lists the most recent quote when you respond.
A&M has been through an absolute gauntlet this year. With both teams healthy, they would destroy every group of 5 team in the country, with the possible exception of Houston. Western Michigan or whoever it is we're talking about here would not even go 6-6 in the SECW. I would be really shocked if they won a game.
