I will say that i don't like byes. Everybody should have to play the same number of games. That makes me a 2-4-8-16 guy, (and I think March Madness should be 32 or 64). The 8 teams with auto bids to the Power Five champs and the highest ranked Group of 5 team made a lot of sense to me. If they are going beyond that, I'd rather go to 16 with auto bids to the 10 conference champions. Would there be blow-outs in a lot of the games? Yes, just as there are in March madness, in regular season games between the power five and the Group of Five teams and even in the four-team playoff? Yes. That doesn't bother me. There's also going to be games like Cincinnati's vs. Georgia two years ago and Alabama last year and the occasional Boise State- Oklahoma game. At least we gave them a shot. if a school could run the table and not get a shot at the national title, you either have a bad playoff system or teams that should be in a separate division. And I'd be all for combining the Group of 5 with FCS and give North Dakota State some competition. That might become Division 1 after the rapture and those 'left behind', (including us), could be in it. This article is interesting: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/31611084/college-football-playoff-expansion-12-team-historic-simulations-storylines-more[/URL] Our 10-3 team of 2018 would not have made the expanded playoff. I've often wonder what would have happened if we had defeated Clemson and Pittsburgh and then won the ACC title to go 12-1. I don't think we'd have made the four-team playoff, (Clemson would have been 11-1, Notre Dame 12-0, Alabama 13-0, Ohio State and Oklahoma 12-1). But I think we would have made an 8-team playoff and would certainly have made a 12 or 16 team playoff. [/QUOTE]
