I would favor either 12 or 16. It would be more entertaining and exciting for one thing, much like the 68 in Basketball's March Madness. We could call it January Madness. JB has said on more than one occasion that he believes they should let everyone in for March Madness. That's not possible in football, due to the process of resting one week between games, but 16 is. How often does the favored team win it all in Basketball?

Football, much like basketball, is moving toward more and more elite athletes, and consequently, more elite teams. Parity will be more likely than the same teams every year i.e. Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St., Georgia, and Notre Dame.  Who would like to see any of these teams upset in the first round? And elite recruits would be more spread around, in all likelihood.

This will force raters to consider more than just records and the leagues teams play in. Scheduling would become more competitive than the Rutgers schedule for instance. Teams like UCF and historically Boise St. would not be left out. Even Syracuse, that finished ranked in the top 16 recently might at least get a chance.

I would find all of this more interesting and involved.
