Well, that will be next.  Because hey, why stop at 8?  Why not 16?   
Hey, Nebraska ranked at #23 is getting pretty good odds on beating  
#10 Auburn.  If they can beat #10, why can't they beat #6, or #4?   
Maybe it should be 32 teams?  And on, and on....

Bye bye bowl games, and the last remaining remnant of what makes D1  
college football unique.

By the way, I AM an advocate of reducing the number of bowl games,  
and eliminating the conference championship games and reducing the  
season back to 11 games. -- Rod W.

Now that we have all these countless bowl games (new ones added every
year it seems) and all this parity (which as an NU fan, I think stinks)
and all the TV revenue generated from SO many games (12-game seasons) not
to mention the devaluing of individual and team season records
(equivalent of the Ruth-Maris debate in baseball with the extra 12 games
in a MLB season), 
I think a playoff system IS unfortunately next. Even at the expense of
bowl games and shortened seasons.  It's like trying to force a genie back
into the bottle.

Personally I don't watch many seasonal NBA and NFL games. They're not
worth much. Wait until the playoffs start !  Everyone gets a fresh start.
Regular-season games have become devalued.
