And I think college football is perfect with a 4 team playoff, but of course the NCAA has to go and **** that up too (expanding to 12 by 2026) so I guess you’re getting your wish there.

Yeah, I generally hate Cinderella teams across all sports... it's a fun ride until they get so far, and then they typically fail spectacularly.
I think 12 makes sense assuming they give 1-4 byes and let 5-12 play in... I'd personally like to expand to 6 and give the top 2 byes and have always thought 8 was more than enough, but we'll see.
There are already plenty of blowouts, so I'm not sure this would actually make it a ton worse... we may just determine 5-12 is just as bad as the typical 4 seed.
I think it could have some advantages in the long run though as schools get more opportunities to play in meaningful games... the rest of the bowl system is a complete joke of meaningless games.
