I can't take an article seriously that notes the FCS playoff is 24 teams-
then implies everyone hates it. If they just cut and pasted that format to the FBS, everyone would love it. It would be bedlam. Every conference champion gets in, and plenty of at-large spots to shut the entitled babies from the SEC and Big 10 up. Nobody is shut out.
Non-CFP bowls have become entirely meaningless. Nobody watches them, and players don't want to play in them. Conference championship games have become largely meaningless now as well - just get rid of them and play more CFP games. I don't care what any pencil neck dweeb hawking articles for SI says - a 24 team CFP where every conference champ got in would do enormous numbers, and we could finally stop saying "Mythical National Championship," because it would be a true championship format. They push the exact same line of BS about the NCAA basketball tournament, and yet every time they've added games to that, people love it, and it does numbers.

More than 16 teams is bad. 12 is good. Big 10 wanting more due to Fox
