The conferences starting their own playoff could be a bad thing for college football or it could be a really good thing. They could make their playoff limited to the Big & SEC only ... that would not be good for CF. Or, they could expand the playoffs to 12 without having to get the votes from other conferences. If they do and extend automatic invitations to other conference champions, this would keep other fanbases engage in the playoffs that are not engage under the current system. I tend to think the money would be greater for an expanded playoff and the Big & SEC understand the NEED to keep national interest in the CFP is more profitable for everyone in the long run.

Well, it appears the SEC and Big 10 will consist of 40 teams combined, including all of the best ones, so I'm not so sure that would be a bad thing. Yeah, the Vanderbilts and Marylands are still there, but for the most part you're going to see high-quality matchups every single week and a high-quality playoff. Getting rid of garbage games will be a good thing.

I see this ending up with four 20 team conferences, two of which will be Clearly better, I say expand the playoffs to 12, give the two lesser conferences 1 auto bid, the two better conferences 3 auto bids and have 4 at large bids.
Interesting point which no one is discussing. US has been under the "sustainability line" for around 50 years.
Birth rates are falling in most all developed countries, it’s understandable as society changes from having a family being a necessity to a luxury. The way we live our lives with modern conveniences is not sustainable for the earth with 10 billion people anyway, it seems about 6.5 to 7 billion people is where we NEED to be without drastic changes to our way of life.

there is no way in hell the playoff should be expanded to 12... there should never be a bye involved for any team in the playoffs
make it a minimum of 8 teams and a max of 16... 2 or 4 (respectively) from each twenty-team conference

I definitely favor the 16 team playoff.
We may be heading for four 20 team conferences, but I believe the Big 10 & SEC will be the only two conferences in their own league, even if that means leaving the NCAA.
That puts big 12 in position to grab the 4 corners schools from PAC, AND ACCs Pitt, louisville, and possibly miami and Vtech. making big 12 a 20 team conference, and pretty solid at that.
The Big 12 may be a winner too based on the last tweet. If they were to get Pitt/Miami/Louisville along with a couple of other pretty big names, they could join the fold. Who knows.

I guess you’re right, I never really thought out the 12 team scenario as requiring byes. I was in favor of 8 teams with the current conference alignment, but with the larger conferences, even though probably less teams will be involved I seem to favor more teams in the playoff, so 16 it is, I can’t complain about more college football.
