I suppose you could make a case for seven teams, to include Georgia and Ohio State, if the playoffs were expanded to eight teams. But then there would be an argument about who would be #8 (probably Oregon).

This is the first time that I see the need for more than 4 teams. Next year, they're expanding to 12, which is too many in my opinion, but not as bad as FCS, which has 24 teams! Way too many.

I don't know how the 12-bracket will work out. Maybe 9-10-11-12 play to see who gets in the round of 8? I don't know.

I would think that if 9, 10, 11,12 play there would be 10 teams...8+2. What I am guessing is numbers 5-12 play off...to add 4 victors to the top 4...for a round of 8.

If a number 12 goes to the championship game that means that team plays 4 extra games. That is 16 games in that year. If there is a first round NFL pick on that team, ya’think that player wants to risk their future livelihood by getting a career ending injury?

1 through 4 get byes. 5 vs 12, 6 vs. 11, 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9 in first round.
