Poll: Should the CFP expand?
- Thread starter Ldlane

I've always thought they should expand it. Still do. I like 6 but could probably get behind 8. However, some other changes probably need to be made in conjunction with expansion.
Thanks, B1G, saved me some typing. This is not ideal but much better than going to 8 which is ridiculous.

Keep it at 4. I find it very hard to point to a number of years where more than 4 teams were realistically championship caliber. Anything beyond 4 dilutes the playoff and reduces how meaningful regular season games are.
Big IF --
IF you go to a 10 Game Season, plus a bye week - ALL P5 VS P5 -- then a conference championship game.....(during week 12)
THEN go to a 16 Team Bracket, I'd like that. (Week 13 - Round one, Week 14 - Round two) -- then do the Semis and Finals in January.
That way the kids keep their school schedules the same.... and they get a break before The Final Four
That means the championship game would be game #15..... just like now

24 teams. As long as we're playing basketball on grass, might as well have a basketball type playoff.
Seriously, I'd like to see it expanded to 6 with the top 2 getting a buy the first week. That allows for a little wiggle room to get 4 SEC teams in the playoffs each year.
OK, maybe not 4 SEC teams. But it does provide an option for a couple of teams who are close and have a legit argument for being included.

Any vote for expansion would mean teams might benefit by eliminating conference championship games. There should be no automatic conference qualifiers.
D1 games should be a determination factor.
I know many teams keep afloat by playing D1 teams. BUT...
Only D1 teams played should count if you increase the number of playoff teams.
I'd like to see any increase tied to beating only D1 teams.

this is what I think should happen when they expand (you know they will eventually). Each year there is always the argument that team #5 and sometimes 6 could belong in the top 4, but rarely do you hear about team 7 & 8 belonging. No automatic bids to conference champs though and can the committee.
Yes. 8 teams with power 5 conference winners getting at large bid and 3 wild cards. Notre Dame does not get any special treatment and the first round is played on the campuses of the top 4 teams.

I'm a little disappointed to see people voting for an expansion of the playoff that absolutely did not make that pitch when the playoff was originally being discussed.
A big part of my argument against the playoff in the first place was that it was going to keep expanding and include undeserving teams. I see some people are like full speed ahead! Who cares about the regular season, right?
