Back around 10 years ago fanboy and I had a conversation about what the best format would be. Most went to 8 fanboy included. I went with 12. Top 4 getting byes made sense to me. Well the powers that be fucked it all up and like I said they're not going backwards. Theres way too much money to be made. So 16 it is. Ole Miss, USC and Bama would've made some interesting games. Imagine Penn States reaction to having to welcome Ole Miss to happy valley. They would've been pissed.I like the idea of 16. I dont yesterday is a true reflection of how exciting and competitive the College Football Playoff will be in the future.
Correction... This was probably 12ish years ago. Right around the time the playoffs was a real possibility.
