Re: "I think the playoff committee would be forced to expand it to at least eight teams."
I have always liked this 6 team playoff concept:
a. All the Power 5 conference champions are automatically in. Thus actually making it an 11 team playoff.
b. Committee chooses best non Power 5 conference team for the 6th team.
c. Committee ranks the 6 teams.
d. Two elimination games: #6 at #3 and #5 at #4 (#3 and #4 get the game in their home stadium or stadium of their choice), with #1 and #2 getting a bye.
e. The four remaining teams play for the National Championship as they are doing now, i.e. lowest ranked remaining team vs. #1, other team vs, #2, etc.

I agree. If we have to expand I'd rather see 6 than 8.
Unpopular opinion: I actually prefer to keep it at 4 teams. Reason being you will have years where conference championship week doesn't matter if you go to 8. If you would've had this system last year then LSU and Georgia would've treated the SEC championship game like an NFL preseason game because they were already in. Same with Clemson. Nobody wants to see that. Plus an 8 team playoff is just a guarantee that at least 3 SEC teams will get a berth every year.
4 teams is a good balance that still keeps the intensity of the regular season while still giving most a chance if you slip up and lose a game.

If sports can return this summer like Fauci says, then College Football should be fine, though it'd probably be without fans which would suck major ass, but I'd rather have that then nothing.
My crazy idea: I say go on as scheduled, fill stadiums at half-capacity so you can still spread fans out a bit, require a mask or face protection if you want. Hopefully by then we'll be in better shape with testing so it'll be easier to keep those that are sick away.

Jerry Jones, Mark Cuban, Mark Emmert, and More Hold Call with President Trump About Sports Hiatus
President Donald Trump held a conference call with a number of team owners, league commissioners and influential figures across professional sports Wednesday.
The call included Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys owner), Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks owner), Robert Kraft (New England Patriots owner), Adam Silver (NBA commissioner), Rob Manfred (MLB commissioner), Gary Bettman (NHL commissioner), Roger Goodell (NFL commissioner) and Dana White (UFC president).
The call was regarding the hiatus of professional sports leagues around the country because of the COVID-19 pandemic and how resuming play might be undertaken given social-distancing guidelines in effect and the lack of widespread testing or a vaccine.
While Trump wants the United States to reopen by the end of the month, per Letitia Stein and Brett Murphy of USA Today—which presumably could include resuming professional sports—a number of factors could make that unrealistic.
Per that report, medical experts "fear a chaotic next chapter, in which still-inadequate testing levels could contribute to waves of disease crashing over America."
Additionally, "in conversations with a dozen scientists, USA Today found that states are falling short of the measures laid out by the CDC."

I wouldn't trust that list of people to change a wheel. But they're going to plan the next phase ... I'd be laughing if people weren't going to die for it.

All DI sports allowed to hold team meetings, other nonphysical activities
Additional opportunities begin April 20
April 16, 2020 12:52pmMichelle Brutlag Hosick
Division I coaches in all sports will be allowed more virtual connection with their teams beginning Monday, April 20, and continuing through May 31, the Division I Council Coordination Committee determined Wednesday.
At the recommendation of the Collegiate Commissioners Association Compliance Administrators, committee members voted to allow teams in all sports to require up to eight hours per week of virtual nonphysical countable activities like film review, chalk talks and team meetings. At the request of the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the committee also will require student-athletes to be provided at least one day off per week.
All required physical athletics activities continue to be prohibited due to the legislated requirement that a sports-safety certified staff member be present during such activities.
Teams in all sports also are prohibited from requiring any activities beginning one week before the start of a school’s final examination period for the Spring 2020 academic term through the conclusion of the final examination period for the term.
“This change not only allows coaches to continue to educate their student-athletes but also fosters the connectivity that comes with team-based activities,” said Council chair M. Grace Calhoun, athletics director at Penn. “Regular, individual check-ins between student-athletes and coaches remain permissible and are encouraged.”
When all spring sports were canceled earlier this year, NCAA rules then considered all sports to be out of season, with out-of-season conditioning rules applying. This limited what coaches could ask of their student-athletes.
The coordination committee committed to reevaluating the access in mid-May to determine whether extension or amendment of the access is appropriate.
