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.
