As soon as they go to 8, you'll hear the squawking by #9 and #10 that they shoulda got in... Going to 8 teams just makes a bigger mess and a looooong post season for college kids. Keep in mind the NCAA and individual colleges are not immune from the same legal liabilities and lawsuits the NFL is dealing with. Adding more games just adds liability. Also, other than the few that are going to turn pro, almost all of these kids are student-athletes. Are they supposed to forego finals for practices and games?
I find it amazing that in DIII, DII, NAIA, & D-IAA they have college playoffs.........and no one is worrying about finals, legal liabilities, lawsuits, or extra practices, or classes.
College playoffs have worked for a very very long time. FCS expanded to 24 teams in 2013. Expanding the FBS playoffs to 8 teams is a good start. Then in a couple years it should go to 16 teams. That's enough. No automatic tie ins, no automatic berths. The top 16 ranked AP/Coaches Poll/Computer Poll get in It's simple.
If you are worried about games, and school, and classes.........which don't seem to be a bother in the other divisions it's simple. Don't play 5 cupcake games a year. Play 2 or 3. 11 regular season games, and if you are good enough a conference championship. All conferences should have to play a championship game of they want to participate in the playoffs. That makes 12 games for 2 teams in each conference. 4 playoff games total means 16 games total. Two more games than Oregon and Ohio State will play this season. It's not big of a deal.........especially if the other divisions of football are doing it already.
