I SAID WE'RE NOT GONNA BE FUCKING SUCK THIS YEAR!!!

I for selfish reasons would love to see a Playoff of VT, Tennessee, Wiscy, ASU.

Maroon, Orange, Red, and Yellow. The colors of fall would work great to cap off a season.

I'd love to see a mining school playoff. VT-penn state-utah-arizona. Idaho get the G5 ny6 spot. Wvu and Kentucky get left in the cold. Let's celebrate my weird little major.

Considering the CFP is in winter, I think your idea is a few months too late.

Yes, because not counting them is loving stupid. With only four teams in the playoffs, it's as "mythical" as the BCS system and prior, anyway.

Long term that will probably be where people start counting them. The previous systems were arbitrary and stupid, that's why they are gone. (and money.) If they add teams to the playoff, it will make the championships won in the early playoffs mean less.

Last BCS Championship. The only playoff-winning teams are Ohio State, Alabama, and Clemson.

It's insane that it took this long really. I'm sure there were bowl people in school presidents' ears constantly making up bullshit about how a playoff wouldn't make them more money, but come on. It's been obvious for like 20 years a playoff would be a license to print money.

It's insane they made playoffs and this was what they came up with. One day fans are going to be confused there was a time when only 4 teams made the playoffs.

From what I understand, the Big 10 (of course) and to a lesser extent the Pac 10 were against it, because ~tradition~.

They claim it's because the season would be too long, but all the other divisions have regular playoffs, and it doesn't bother them.

That's because the other divisions play fewer regular season games. FBS will never cut down on those, because of money. So the argument about "too many games" w/r/t expanding the playoffs for FBS is entirely valid.
