[QUOTE="doneagain, post: 131083209, member: 1396145"] We had 5 BCS Bowls when the BCS ended, which meant 10 teams got spots. They utilize the major bowls in the playoffs now, and years they are not a playoff bowl, that bowl has become useless to the main future NFL stars. The argument that expanding the playoffs weakens the regular season is stupid because the current system already eliminates half the teams before a snap has been taken in the season. I agree 8 is the right number. Five auto bids for P5 champs, 1 wildcard for a G5 school if the finish ranked in the top 12, and 2 wildcards for 2 best non conference winners. The argument that the debate would go away eliminating the fun of the debate is wrong because the argument would shift to the 3 wild card spots and which conference deserves a second or third bid. As far as saying the season is extended too long by expanding, the 2 title game participants are doing 15 games right now. Teams that play in a conference championship and bowl play in 14 games. Only 2 teams would extend their season by one game by making the title game. And I have never heard a player complain about playing in a championship game. [/QUOTE]
