Yepp.

With an expanded playoff, you can be fairly certain of an occasional upset.  Most of us would eat that up. 16? Fanbases completely involved.   Brackets keeping others involved, office pools etc...

I'm not sure if an expanded playoff helps with opt outs, but more games against top competition could increase a players draft stock.  Opt outs here could certainly hurt a team more. If that happens to be a top 4 team, and say #14 is coming in at full strength?  Interesting.  Not only that.  If QB1 opts out on a team?  Its fanbase might get a 2,3 or 4 game look at QB2.  Certainly would give us more CFB to talk about in the offseason.

In terms of FAN involvement, an expanded CFB is a no-brainer.  The only post season game I cared about this year was Cincy/Alabama.  If #4 Cincy had beaten #13(ole miss) in the playoff?  I would have watched 2 games. I'll always root for the underdog.

It makes too much sense for the NCAA to make it happen.  16 meaningful bowl games. A playoff that 4 times the amount of fanbases would care about.
