[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 103039, member: 265"] If the costs weren't already sunk, I could see an argument against an 8 team playoff, "It'd cost too much, ect. ect.!" But they are. I can guarantee that the extra time would not – repeat, [I]not[/I] – be a concern for the players and coaches. But who knows about the presidents? The people who run Div 2 and 3 colleges don't seem to have any trouble with a 16 team round. I get the feeling that most Div 1 presidents think that college sports is quite big enough on their campuses as it is, thank you very much, and they would like to keep it in its place as much as is possible. Given the recent revelations about UNC, I can certainly see their point. You go to school to get educated, supposedly; sports are for the alums. But that ship has sailed, imho, and, since an 8 or 16 team playoff using the championship games as a first round is an easy way to get to a real national champion, I'm pretty sure that we'll see at least an 8 team playoff next year.
