This is not the exact link. I am still trying to find it. (I erased my history) There are literally dozens and dozens of articles on the internet, with advocates saying that there needs to be 8 teams forthwith. IF the SEC has at least two teams in the playoffs, that means two or three other conferences will be shut out from the playoffs. This will pretty much guarantee that the playoffs are expanding to 8 teams within two years so each Big Five Conferene can be represented in the playoffs.
IF the SEC has 3 teams in the playoffs and the TV rating for the 3 games are great, I can the other Big Five conferences demanding a change and breaking the contract as soon as next year. The Big 10, Big 12, and Pac 12 cannot afford to be shut out of the playoffs. Or eventually, if Texas and Florida State join the SEC, they can just create their own national champion--the winner of the SEC.

I fully expect the expansion to 8 teams. That is so the P5 can get more teams in it. Youve got 5 teams that are champions. Then 3 #2 teams. Oh wait you have to thrown in the sissy bed wetters out of South bend. then you only have room for the one from any of the # 2 teams.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Yes. It will go to 8. The resistance to further expansion would be overwhelming. At 8, there is no room for a G5 team and no way in Hell would there be a guaranteed spot. Period.

At 12 teams there would be an argument, because they've got a New Years day bowl tie in now for the highest ranked team.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

With 8 teams an undefeated G5 team could make it.
12-16 teams and 2 G5 teams WILL make it.

Once they go to 12 or 16 teams I would expect the bowls to go away. They will need to host those games at campus sites because I don't expect large numbers of fans to travel to 3-4 straight games plus a possible conference championship game. Imagine doing a Frisco type trip 3-5 times. It's not happening.
Basketball is not a good comparison because most arenas only hold 15-20k and there are 4-8 teams playing at each site. Would 2 teams be able fill 80-100k 3-4 weeks in a row? I know some fans will be local people with no specific team alliance but the teams' fans still drive the majority.
