that point. At least with 16 or more you start to open the door to potential questions on whether all 10 FBS conferences should receive 1 automatic bid for their champions to the Playoffs.

@TerryD heard if CFP goes to 16, ND automatic PO spot eliminated -- Stech Dec 21, 2025 at 05:21 PM ET

I've heard the same. Will it matter at 16?** -- TerryD Dec 22, 2025 at 05:15 AM ET

TerryD • 12/22/25 05:15 AM ET

I wouldn’t think it would matter at 16, 11 at large to be gotten. -- Stech Dec 22, 2025 at 07:22 AM ET

A 16 team playoff is big enough. ND won’t need any guarantee. ** -- RandomAsianGuy Dec 21, 2025 at 06:18 PM ET

Wait until they are ranked 17th 🤯** -- Maroon Baboon Dec 22, 2025 at 12:30 AM ET

I agree, but are they demanding it!?!?** -- Stech Dec 21, 2025 at 09:31 PM ET

Said that years ago. Fox owns BIG10 and ESPN the $EC. -- 3TechFanz Dec 24, 2025 at 07:47 AM ET

Agree, but heard if we go to 16 in the playoff, the ND rules is gone, but -- Stech Dec 22, 2025 at 12:45 PM ET

I'd like to see them go to 16 games but have two levels of byes. -- Truthahn Dec 22, 2025 at 06:20 PM ET

Truthahn • 12/22/25 06:20 PM ET

It would be interesting to see if those extra byes would help or hurt teams** -- VTHokie2000 Dec 22, 2025 at 06:48 PM ET

VTHokie2000 • 12/22/25 06:48 PM ET

No byes! Playing Tulane or JmU was like having a bye ** -- AnotherTechW Dec 23, 2025 at 07:23 AM ET

Unless you play JMU the week after playing Boise State at FedEx Field.** -- VTHokie2000 Dec 23, 2025 at 07:41 PM ET
