I think you should keep reposting this throughout the year, because it's exactly what people need to know. 4 team playoff with conference championship games preceding is perfect for finding the national champIf people look at the Conference Title games as a Quarter Final game before the CFP, they make a ton of sense. Thus, it’s more inclusive than just 4 teams if these games are included which I believe was the original intent. The “goal” is to determine the number 1 team not the 4 best teams. Including the Confernce Champions accomplishes that goal. Aka Georgia losing to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game and thus Oklahoma was the 4th team in. Georgia lost so they are out.
No need for expansion really as it’s built in already. This talk wouldn’t be happening if the B1G wasn’t left out twice now.

Except one team doesn’t have that quarter final game.

There have been two years in which team that did not play in a conference championship game was invited to the party. I would have no issue with the Committee being obligated to take the best four conference champions, but that has not been what has been happening.
Dissolve the division format. ensure the two best teams play in the conference championship. then you might have something.
The SEC should be against it. That's like capping cbb tourney teams for the ACC at the top 4, when teams #5, 6, 7 are capable of Final 4 runs. A conference shouldn't be penalized for being the best.I would love to see this across the board. But the SEC might be against it. Makes it harder for them to get two teams in. Would UGA have even made the playoff last year?

why would moving from espn to epn2 cause and ratings changes of those magnitudes? are there large cable systems getting only espn these days?

They did, but the B1G vetoed the plan.It's three out of five. Ohio State in 2016, Alabama in 2017, and Notre Dame this year. I would take issue with a team like Pitt (had they won the ACCCG) going to the playoff. But that is just me. Now, if each conference could figure out a way for its best two teams to play in that game, I might be convinced. But no, not as things currently exist.
