I don't understand why they're even going with the 4 team format, it will just eventually go to 8, which is where it needs to be. 4 auto bids go to the conference champs, 4 at large bids go to 4 highest ranked teams outside of the 4 taken as conference champs. That would require each of the 4 conferences to have a championship game though. It wouldn't be fair to ask one team to play 16 games to win it all, versus another team only having to play 15. 16 sounds like a lot of games to play for college kids when I write that out, but I just don't see how the 4 team format solves the problem of leaving out deserving teams. It's a start because at least it's a playoff, but I want to see all the deserving teams get a shot, 8 teams is plenty to satisfy that IMO.
