Well at the point you might as well eliminate CCG games because that would essentially make them meaningless.

Either Pilson was quoted wrong or he's a frickin' idiot ie within the length of the current contract /// when the current ESPN-CFP contract expires
And who is Pilson and why should I care? Oh, a CBS sports executive whose financial interest is hmm having the CFP switch to CBS for more $$$. Shocking!
Not gonna happen and if it did would have to decrease the regular season by one or two games, possibly eliminating the conference championship(s) which again is why it's not gonna happen. And by increasing the $$$ pool would just give more momentum to the players getting/deserving a piece of the pie. "They" already have enough $$$. Mentioned previously Joel Klatt, who has talked to the Big 5 commissioners, saying expansion isn't even up for discussion!
Also, like the NFL, college football seems to be having an expanded, pun intended, injury problem and increasing games and expanding the season only exacerbates the problem. IOW network executives don''t have to worry about career ending injuries.

Oh yea, going full circle with the $$$ grubbing university heads/network execs, expansion would lead to more star players sitting out bowl games. Go figure! Show me the $$$ !!!
>
btw, did I mention it ain't gonna happen!

Yea, 2017 was a clusterfuck and just hope 2018 isn't so messy er an anomaly. It's not like there isn't more important problems in the universe to be worried about. So frickin' Saban gets another title. Shit happens!

Not when it comes to $$$...and besides, I'd envision the CCG to be the virtual play-in game in almost all cases.

Of the 8 "second round" FCS playoff games (the round after the "play in" round)
Only 1 game was decided by less than 2 scores......
If FBS ever expanded past 8 to 16 (which will happen), i'd guess the results would be similar.
It's just more games for the hell of it ($$$) at a certain point. It's not like you'd get a bunch of huge quality exciting games out of it.

The polls and bowls system wasn't perfect and had its share of controversies, but it never had a team who finished 3rd in their conference awarded a national title.

Damn it, @Beano Cook!
In 1997 the polls gave half a championship to scUM so they were righteously fucked. Giving that half a title to Rutgers would have been a more dignified gesture.

Any playoff field expansion from here is going to start 1:1 damage to the regular season imo.
The regular season and rivalries are what make CFB
Please don't fuck that up powers that be. I haven't watched an NFL game in years.

You just demonstrated the problem with the "eye test" - your view is different than the committee. How much does personal bias play into it? We all have 'em, including the people on the committee.
All conferences champions - how ever many there are (10 or so) - ranked, top 4 get in. There's no way to get rid of the subjectivity with 130 teams, but we can objectively eliminate 120 of them. That takes a lot of the smoke-filled room BS out of it, which is why it's unlikely to happen.

Yep. Maryland. Rutgers. UNLV. Nebraska. Real riveting content.
I don't watch the NFL because the product sucks, and the winners seem practically predetermined. But I will not entertain the notion that regular season games do not matter in the NFL. The Chargers missed the playoffs because their rookie kicker missed three FGs in the first two games.

Going to a 8 team playoff with auto bids would make said content even less "riveting"
There would be really no point for any of the big boys to schedule anyone worth a damn at all OOC if all you have to do is win your conference to get to the playoff. You'd see a lot more Ohio State/UNLV and a lot less Ohio State/Oklahoma

If you're gonna go 8 team playoff....
I say make every conference go to a 9 game conference schedule to start
Then a rule that 2/3 OOC games must be vs other P5 and no FCS.
Also no late season cupcake games for a free extra bye week in the havoc of conference play before your biggest game of the year (Looking at you Bama and Barn)

Always have been, am, and always will be, vehemently opposed to auto-bids for conference champs. We don't need some 5-loss team get in because they happened to stumble through the division and then play out of their minds in their CCG.
