    The FBS should go to 8 or even 16. While the 4 team playoff today does yield a champion, it also leaves out good teams that have a shot. This (for me) is the main reason for an 8 or 16 team field. Last year (2017), I believe Minnesota-Duluth was the last team to make the hockey playoffs and they barely made it. They ended up the national champions, and then they repeated this year. This (to me) is the biggest problem with a 4-team playoff - it leaves out too many teams that deserve to be in the playoffs.

    Win your conference championship, have at most one loss and chances are you'll be in.

    I cant think of many teams who had a legit beef about missing the CFP.

    Why should it be a "chance"? Teams that had a legitimate beef of not getting in the CFP? Maybe not in any single given year. Overall a 4 team FBS playoff is a joke and I can't think of a good reason why it can't be expanded.

    Just a feeble attempt to control the money.They knew it would never stay at 4 teams. Just like all of the other bogus algorithm made up scenarios they have come up and had to change over the last 25+ years that they have tried to call The National Championship..

    Just imagine a 16 team playoff system with all the sponsors bidding for each game to put a name on the (bowl) game...Higher the bid, higher the playoff game you get. Everybody wins. I would watch that like I watch SkinaMax...now imagine the office brackets.

    The wailing will never end. If they expand to 8, they’ll start complaining about needing 16.

    G5 autobid? Western Michigan and UCF went undefeated in consecutive seasons. Who gets the playoff slot if it happens in one year?

    That is no excuse for not expanding the CFP into something meaningful.

    My thought and just spit balling it. 12 teams. For P5, get rid of conference championsip games. Regular season champions of each conference division are in. Top 4 teams get a bye. Sure, butt hurt happens, as one division is probably always better than the other, but hey, you know what you got to do to get in. Last 2 spots are G5 teams. How they are selected, up for debate. NDSU can then move up, as there is a clear path to be in the mix. ��. Hey

    I don’t see people in any sport complaining about having a real playoff. I don’t understand the people complaining about trying to get one

    Go to 4 power conference with divisions of 8 teams in each. 64 power teams. Play everyone in your division split up the rest of the 4/5 games on the schedule however but it must be against power teams. Let the rest of G5/FCS split up however they choose. Call the divisions whatever you want, but have two real divisions. Feelings can be hurt but it would make for better football.

    Power tournament is 16 teams, all ranked, 8 division winners host first round and it is played out like a real true tournament.

    Next division can be handled in similar fashion.
