That could also work. Say,

Ohio State
LSU
Virginia Tech
USC
Oklahoma
West Virginia
Hawaii
BYU

Ta-da. At least then you've got the 8-best conference champions with an actual chance, and everyone else can play in their own happy little Cotton/Holiday/Meineke Car Care/Armed Forces Bowls.

Yeah. Florida has trouble filling the seats when they're playing buy games, right? They'd DEFINITELY struggle to sell tickets to the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS.

BS. They would make a ton more money with a playoff system because the TV rights would be HUGE for this. It would dwarf what they currently have now.

Ta-da.
The problem is though, what about Conference USA? Or the Mid-American Confernece? Mountain West?

If we were to take all the conferences in the D-I level, that is 11 teams total.

I can't decided if the final 4 idea is a good one or a bad one.

They why bother playing Hawaii at all. They don't bring anything to the table.

I'd rather have representation from every conference, but 8 would be fine if it allowed for the best two non-BCS conference champions to have a shot, too.

Also, C-USA was terrible this year.

That is my, let the mid majors figure out which 2 they are going to send. It is up to them to decide how and who.

As terrible as they have been, they do have a conference championship game that they play.

So seems to be fair to me that whoever wins that conference championship should have all the right to join in the playoff format.

So earning a shot means nothing to you?

I'm not talking about Hawaii in particular, because anyone who needs overtime to beat San Jose State is obviously not a complete team, but what about 13-0 Auburn in 2004? What did they do wrong?

You still can't have the students playing that many games. 13 should be the most and 14 the max.

Simple, everyone loves to see Cinderella get her chance.

No, that's unnecessary and leads to crazy politicking amongst conferences that don't care about the others. Just state that the 8 highest-ranked teams who are conference champions earn spots in the playoffs.

What makes 15 games more egregious than 14?

I agree they need to shorten the season. Have only 10 game seasons and the most the championship teams would play would be 13.
