There are what, 128 teams in the FBS?   Half of the teams are essentially completely eliminated from ever even having an opportunity to get into a playoff.  I like the true national nature of college football (Nevada, New Mexico,  Wyoming, everybody is involved) and do not want a 30 team league of SEC +.  With the superconferences and the 4 team playoff many programs in the lower half will probably end up dropping their football programs a la UAB.

I believe a 16 team playoff would be perfect. You could give home field advantage to the higher seeds, you could have regional/bowl playoff sites, or a combination of both (early rounds HFA, later rounds Bowls).  All the P5 champs would be in regardless of how they determine a champion. High caliber teams would get the at larges and even a few stellar mid majors like a Marshall might be able to squeak in from time to time. This adds a kind of March Madness element to major college football.

I would cut a game or two off of the regular season, perhaps eliminating conference title games altogether. The whole setup would be to allow for playoffs to start right after thanksgiving and running them through each weekend in December, culminating with the title game around the New Year. My God it would be beautiful.

But, I am a dreamer and it will probably never happen, I'd be thrilled to have 8 teams though, and I think that will happen eventually.
