I would go for extended playoff if all conferences would drop their championship games. No matter what we the fans want, it appears to be all about money these days.
Call me crazy but I kinda like the 4 team format. Keeps the regular season ultra-relevant and creates a unique kind of competitive tension around not wanting to be the team left out. But as a college football junkie, I certainly wouldn't complain about more games... 🏈
Expanded playoffs will water down the regular season. I don't want to see college football become like major league sports- where being the best team over the course of a season means nothing. If you are not in the top 4- don't whine, and try again next season.
Uh... length of season is a reason; they're already at a 15 game season. You do realize these are academic institutions and not just football teams, right? The impact of a lengthy season on student-athletes becomes a concern.

Very simple solution is to drop a regular season game. They used to play eleven, now they all play 12.
Regular season of 11 games plus CC = 12
Then teams in the playoffs play 15 max if they are the two playing in the NCG.
Clemson and Bama each played 15 last season.
It is ridiculous to act like it can't be done. Especially when it would be EASY to do.
