Yeah, it would be much easier to determine the 8th and 9th best team in the country...
Not the point. It's simple math; expansion would allow the possibility of a more diverse group of teams into the college postseason every year simply by having more spots available.

It would be roughly the same dozen or so teams every year in that format too.

Okay, let's assume that's actually a valid statement, a playoff system would still increase potential for a more diverse final four or two every year.

CFB is one of the least cyclical North American sports, though. Teams like Bama, USC, Michigan, tOSU, ND, Texas, OU, etc. will always be good in the long run even if they have road bumps in the short run.Monkey_Driven wrote:I would expect another 4-6 new teams cycling into the four team playoff in the next five years due to the cyclical nature of the sport.

Maybe, it could also lead to a lot of the same teams blowing out the lower seeds. There's never going to be a perfect system with 110+ FBS teams to determine a champ without playing an extended playoff that would cheapen the regular season. Let's give this format a few more years to see what new teams come into the fold. In four years there have been 8 different teams in this thing.
Just look at the past 20 years of college ball. I would expect another 4-6 new teams cycling into the four team playoff in the next five years due to the cyclical nature of the sport.

I know it's maybe not as exciting for people who aren't fans of either team, or casual fans in general, but I think it's a great matchup. This is pretty much the only time they get to play each other. Playing Bama is a pretty good indicator of where your team is; it's gonna be great.
Fun fact, last time Dabo was in the Sugar Bowl, he was as a player at Alabama. Hopefully this time he'll win as a coach.
