12 team playoff

These are students not pro ball players and these are not basketball teams, its football.
ridiculous. I don't care who the guy is. I'm out.
It's a tournament of actual conference champions. The NFL playoffs are a joke in comparison.
I get it, you only want Power 5 teams. It's rather narrow-minded IMHO.
I think his point is, 20-year-old kids aren't typically built to withstand a 16+ game season. It wasn't long ago when playing 12 games in a year was a big deal. In my Dad's day, they only played 9. The bigger you make the playoff, the more likely that injuries will factor into who wins out -- and it's more likely to not be the best team from the regular season.

Jesus, when will this ever stop? Every single solitary year some guy and his buddy were kicking around an idea about a playoff system that makes the regular season meaningful and something about bowl games and crap.
We already have too many playoff teams. I thought playoffs were supposed to be the magical fix it all to any doubts about who's champ?
Gimme back the ambiguity. That was at least more fun to debate than who's playoff format is more bestest and why we need more teams.
It's ridiculous.
That hurts and isn’t necessary.Hell Pops huskers couldn't make a 64 team playoff this year
Except in hockey, baseball, soccer, cricket, basketball, pingpong and any other sport under the sun
An Alabama shouldn't fear playing first round against a Sun Belt, Mid-American, American Athletic, Conference USA, or Mountain West champion. Excluding these teams from a tournament of champions is saying the Power 5 are afraid.
You also need a way for Independent teams to earn berths. The Power 5 shouldn't be too soft to not include Notre Dame, BYU, Army, etc.

As someone wiser than I said, we should be rooting for bama to win the SEC -- so they don't get 2 teams in again.
1. I never mentioned bowl games.
2. I prefer the old BCS rankings and bowl matchups, with all of the debate that goes with the ambiguity.
3. The premise here is that you MUST come up with a playoff system of some sort. It was inevitable when we originally kicked it around.
Just simple 8 team playoff with 5 Power 5 Conference Champions ( if those are chosen from the Divisions they set up, so be it). Then add 3 WC’s that cannot be a losing team from the Conf Championship Games (so in effect those games make it a 16 team playoff...win that CCG and you’re in the CFP). This makes the regular season ultra important and meaningful as if you just win your Division, then you have a shot to get in the CFP by winning the CCG. Every sport has a playoff to determine their champions and their reg season matters only in that they have to be a Division winner to guarantee themselves a shot...THAT keeps Cinderella alive for CFP. By eliminating CCG losers, you then take the highest ranked three other teams. I don’t think ND could stay independent under this system as they would only be able to get in via WC. Not easy. What I like about this is it would create excitement for every Division in Power 5, as even the down year Divisions (like B1G West and PAC12) would be out of any CFP, but in this scenario they would still have a shot at CFP. So a game like NW-Iowa, would be HUGE coming up.
