          Cotton
          Orange
          Peach
          Fiesta
          Citrus
          I think 8 is probably optimal as long as the first round is on campus.

          • The solution was always a 4-team playoff after the original bowl games... It would've felt like an 8-team playoff as the original major bowl games would've felt like a 1st round of 8.

            • I’d rather have all the playoff games at the seven bowls I listed. Keep the bowls intact.

              I mean as long as it’s the OSUs, Bamas, Michigans, Georgias, etc, it would be okay, but let a playoff game be in Starkville, Waco, Piscataway, Ames (etc, etc) and it would suck as bad (worse?) as going there in the regular season.

                I would be okay with that. Or, to narrow it, play the bowl games and pick the best two to play for the championship.

                • Of course AA wants no more than 4 teams...odds are one of those four will be Bammer...so a 12-team playoff just creates more upset opportunities for the peasants of CFB...

                  Between Lord Saban, HCRD and HARBAUGH!!!!!!! there is little hope for any other program...

                    1st, Bama was not in this past year, were they?

                    2nd, Saban is in his 70’s. His expiry date is coming up.

                    3rd, Speaking of this year, an 8-team or 12-team playoff would have gotten us in. I’m still against it. it’s just too many, it’s gonna kill the bowls, and teams will limp in to the CFP with 2, 3, or even 4 losses.

                    Finally, we had the best product in all of sports, but we’re determined to “improve” things until we ruin them. It’s just human nature, I suppose.

                      • Wiz,

                        You have a wealth of knowledge and perspective on college football. I truly hate that you adopted the “stfu” persona to such a degree. You have good insights when you give them. I mean, I get it. After 25 years, social media becomes laborious. But it’s still a pity.

                        Your friend,
                        AA
