I’m not a big fan of expanding the playoffs to 8, but a few ideas for discussion. The first is obviously not original with me. The other two I have not heard discussed before.
1) Add two more teams and have a “play in” for the 3&4th spot.
2) Utilize some form of public voting to assist with the selection of 5&6. Perhaps it would be a vote between those ranked 5-10.
3) Allow the selection committee to choose the season opener games for teams 1-4 in the final rankings. This would help teams like UCF to get a chance to play the better teams, and also (hopefully) preventing a stinker like BAMA vs. Louisville (which looked good when originally scheduled)..
I know that there are challenges to these, especially for #3, but I think they can be overcome. What do y’all think?
