CFP Playoff Expansion

I blame @pooods for the price setting....
 
Personally I would like to see 12 teams.

First round bye to the top for. And the first two rounds in the higher seed home stadium.

Then go to the BCS stadiums from there.

This season, that would have given us these opening-round games:
  • No. 5 Georgia vs. No. 12 Penn State
  • No. 6 Ohio State vs. No. 11 LSU
  • No. 7 Michigan vs. No. 10 Florida
  • No. 8 UCF vs. No. 9 Washington
And then these matchups
  • No. 1 Alabama vs. opening-round winner
  • No. 2 Clemson vs. opening-round winner
  • No. 3 Notre Dame vs. opening-round winner
  • No. 4 Oklahoma vs. opening-round winner
Seriously this would have been awesome

Yeah, I've been won over to the 12 team scenario as well.

The top 4 teams all get a bye, so it doesn't completely render the regular season meaningless, which makes it better than an 8 team playoff.

I would schedule the first round just after conference championships but before bowl games.

That way there wouldn't be such a CFB gap, and the 4 losing teams could still be slated for bowl games and not end their season on a sour note.
