Shhhhhh, that's a big secret.

Oh 4 BIG TEN are still in the TOP 15. But the big head to head elimination tournament is coming up......looks like NOTRE DAME has a decent shot at a top 4 position with OHIO STATE and two others.
WHY not 8 or 16 teams? My old pet peeve, every other division in football does it.

Money? They could take empty bowl games and sell them out and have national TV coverage and make big bucks. Alabama, OHIO STATE or others in a round 1 game?

Agree. That is why it makes no sense, monetarily, that they do not expand. They use that old chestnut about interfering with the education of the students. That too is a pile of horse manure. Why is it so bad to interfere with the education of FBS players.....where it is not bad to interfere with FCS, D-II and D-III players (who generally are far more real students than D-1 football players)

SOS can be misleading because most all just play each other, once they get well into the schedules around weeks 8, 9, 10 the true SOS emerges.

Yes including the D-1AA schools that I am pretty familiar with, when some D-1 players realize they are behind better players they bolt to D-1AA teams to start.
For example YSU's starting QB this year is a NOTRE DAME transfer, it's all about playing time, exposure, potential NFL tryouts.......oh and school rah, rah, rah.
I still can picture some 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5 marquee matchups in sold out venues which were formerly the toilet bowl or so-in-so car parts bowl boring games. The increase in interest, gate, TV advertizing and of course contributions to the schools involved budgets would be in the millions.
Just check out the phenomenal MARCH MADNESS only on a smaller scale afterall it is tackle football not hoops......and very, very few additional games, lose and you're done.

6 team. Byes for top two seeds

With 8 there are 4 teams that go home 4 play round 2 go home leaving the championship game. Simple.
The top two teams do not need any bye weeks besides it reeks of play-in games which are kind of strange to begin with.

Agreed, but at this point in the season it's all we have to attempt to gauge the situation and based upon that, making a "cupcake" statement is ludicrous.
7 teams and #1 gets a bye or 8 teams, no byes...

No 8 minimum. 16 would be better

Hey I agree with the Axe we might be on to something.......except the cupcake part, it's true if you look at the SEC non-conference games really now
Are you kidding me? The Girl Scouts were already booked?
But on the playoffs I'd be happy to start with an 8 team playoff 1/8 2/7, 3/6, 4/5 would give you some excellent games especially 4/5. And NO BYES. -

Could've been worse.. Bama could have scheduled someone from the Big10..
