I think they would go to 16 with the top seeds getting home
playoff games in the first two rounds. 4-4-2-2-2-2. Independents and G5 get 2, and 2 at large. That gives the ACC and B12 a shot at three, but also gives the BIG and SEC a shot at 5.
Those home games brought untold millions to the hosting schools and communities, and gives the home team an unfair advantage. No matter how they slice it, the BIG and SEC will get theirs.
Maybe the ACC should schedule some OOC games against the B12 before you assume anything in that regard.

What's not to like about the 14-team playoff (4-4-2-2-1-1)?

Do they realize this sets up an inferior P2 bumping a superior team?

In their eyes the top 8 P2 teams are never inferior to a non P2 team. **

I agree, so if it comes to 4-4-? IMO we opt out. Have our own play off.**

12 teams is already too many. They should have just gone with 8.**
