I know NFL and CFB aren't identical, but I think NFL this year proved why expansion is needed in CFB. Who were "the 2 best teams" headed into the NFL playoffs this season? Yet, who played for Super Bowl... two 4 seeds (which equates to the 7th & 8th "best" teams). So expansion needs to be minimum 8 teams. But, to keep amateur kids healthy, they need to expand scholarship numbers, expand travel rosters and drop FCS scrimmages. Max 10-11 regular season games, then playoffs. No more than 14-15 games on these kids.

I think this will lead to an even larger payoff. This needs to be about more than a playoff and rushing the decision will only lead to an expansion of the post season.
Covid proved scheduling can be done a couple of weeks in advance. TV will pay for big time OOC matchups and the only way to get that is to rework the regular season model.
My pipe dream is to see 5 team group play dictated by conference finish with winners advancing to 8 team playoffs. This the only way to give 120+ teams a chance to earn a spot while playing a maximum of 15/16 games. (depends on how many conference games).

I think you are making a chicken and egg argument. A 4 team playoff has created an environment where players have to choose 1 of 8 teams to have a playoff chance. As that happens year over year the number of teams with the talent required to make it shrinks to 4 or 6. With 8-12 teams, especially with conference champions as qualifiers more teams have something to sell to recruits.

Go back throughout college football history. Go back to even before the BCS. There has rarely been a season going back to the 70s where after all of the bowl games were played there was more than three maybe four teams that had a chance to win the national championship. Comparing the NFL to college football is totally ridiculous. They’re not even remotely the same animal. And football is not baseball or basketball where any team can get hot and win a championship.

I always thought the championship game was to see who the best team in college FB was, and not to sell something to recruits, there is to much buying and selling in sports as it is right now, nothing extra needs to be added for more selling, buying, or cheating with weaker teams watering down the playoffs, and the NCG!!!!

Your take is ridiculous. Nobody’s being pimped out. No one‘s being exploited. A college scholarship for any sport is the way out of poverty from millions of kids. Less than 2% of college football players will ever make the NFL and the average NFL career is only five years. For the other 98% opting out and not being serious about school is not jeopardizing their NFL career it’s jeopardizing their future and their families future for generations! Because they’re getting a free education and they’re tied into a network of donors such that they will never have to worry about a job or career which will change not only their life but their family.

Maybe we should not risk their futures at all and just let them all post videos on instagram and the team with the most hits wins.

dissolve the SEC collusion-fest before an expansion. Old Miss was a joke, for example, as a playoff contender, much like the two teams playing IGA and Bama in 2021.

The 2018 season when Clemson won the NC, we played 12 regular season games, ACC championship game, a playoff game, the the NC game that equaled a total of 15 games. Change the playoff system to have more teams, and the two teams playing for the NC game, it could be more than 15 games. Four playoff teams is more than enough to get to the best team in the country. Since the playoffs, I believe the best team in college FB won the NC game!!!

More than 4 means SEC will get more berths, money, recruits

Upping the playoffs to 8 or 12 teams is going to mean multiple SEC teams, which will make the SEC even richer, with the ability to attract even more top-tier recruits. That's why the ACC, B1G, & Pac-12 got together to stop playoff expansion. I think it'll be great if most of the teams in the new 16-team SEC super-conference (especially the former Big-12 teams like Texas, OU, & TAMU) have to sit at home watching Alabama in the playoffs every year.

So the "Alliance" stops playoff expansion to hurt the SEC? Keep it at 4 teams and watch 2 SEC teams in the playoffs most years and in the finals, as we've already seen, twice. Expand it to 8 and brace for the real possibility of 3 SEC teams in the semi-finals. Hard to see a scenario where the SEC loses out on much.

Ha. Reading this statement is such a joke: "The CFP Board of Managers met with the CFP Management Committee." Lol, what?
"The CFP Executive Director said the CFP Board of Managers told the CFP Management Committee we shouldn't change anything." Lol, so your saying we aren't doing anything bc the public outrage has died down.
This whole thing is a joke. As one reply said "They sure were able to scramble a season and playoff together in 2020." Yup.
