Yeah. Lol. Anybody who bitched about or opposed the playoffs right now looks like a total numb nuts. Can't wait 'til it goes to 8!
If for nothing else those playoff bowl game atmospheres were awesome. The non-playoff games were
the pits. So much money to be made and energy to be generated for the other bowls. It is going to expand sooner rather than later.

Did you see how many bowl games with RANKED teams were less than half filled? It basically comes down to folks just not caring if they didn't get to the playoff games.
It's gonna get even worse as the years go by too.
I really feared this would happen but the days of the "bowls" is numbered. Probably a decade or so and they won't even call them bowls anymore, just collegiate NFC this or collegiate AFC that. There'll be a field of 8 teams, possibly even 16 and that'll be the only goal all season of any team out there cause if you don't make it to that, there's no postseason whatsoever. There just won't be any money in it for anyone.
Don't ruin a good thing. I was weary of the 4-team playoff but I'll admit I was off there. The 4-team playoff is fine because it basically serves as a plus one and it keeps the regular season important since 1 loss can still keep you out of the playoffs. If it goes to 8 teams 2 and 3-loss teams will routinely be in. Sorry, but if you lose 2 or 3 games you have no business being in the championship discussion. 4 teams is perfect.

Note #: No, I don't give a d@#n how UCF's enrollment compares to UF or FSU. When I was at UF, the greatest student enrollment in the state was at Miami-Dade Junior College, so B.F.D.

Yes, 6 maybe. Or maybe 5 ! The latter to make room mostly for teams from Power-5 conferences lacking a championship game (e.g.: Baylor, OU, TCU), or from lesser conferences (championship game or not). My intent is to require them to prepare for and play a wild-card-like game, which would become the one-&-only de facto quarterfinal game. Such as for a highly-ranked mostly-independent Notre Dame, or a MW-or-WAC-undefeated Brigham Young (see their 1985 joke MNC game vs. a 6--6 Michigan team), or undefeated "All-American Conference" teams (e.g.: Central Florida [#]) that might appear on the scene in any particular season.
I agree completely. I am worried about the hype "out there" that lot of people, whom I suspect of being sports fans whose primary football loyalty is to the NFL, want a 16-team college-football play-off. If that happens, expect to see more lunacy like in the 2011/2012 season, in which conference-division nonchamp Bama was awarded an unchallenged trip to the BCSCG, while practically erasing the regular-season victory by the eventual conference champ LSU, which beat Bama fair-&-square as a visitor to Tuscaloosa, but was required to be distracted from BCSCG preparation, and take the risk of key injuries, to play an extra game--the SECCG (vs. UGa?)--before they could play the Bama mulligan (Jan. 9, 2012).
