After seeing the 12-team college football playoff, I'd rather have an eight-team field.
Now, I know, the odds are it will just grow to 16 teams because of greed, but my main arguments about eight would be that it makes for a tighter field of quality teams, which would lead to less blowouts, but perhaps more importantly, playing all the way until Jan. 20 is a bit much. The Military Bowl seems like another lifetime ago in comparison. Save mid-January for the NFL playoffs.
I'm also not a big fan of college teams playing 16-17 games. If Ohio State had played for the Big Ten title, it would have been 17 games for the Buckeyes and that seems excessive for college football. I know, it's about the greed.
