I'd like to see them go to 16 games but have two levels of byes.

They players are professionals now. They can handle it. Bottom 8 teams, play 4 games to get to 12 teams. Bring in 4 bye teams, then play 4 more games to get to 8 teams. Then bring in 4 more byes, play 4 games, then 2, then 1. Even if you have two "undeserving" teams again, they would be gone before the top 12 play. Actually, I would like them to allow 6 auto bids, if they did this. If teams #15 and #16 really are bad, they drop right out.

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

Makes sense, but I do wonder if more bids would need to go to the Gs at -- VTHokie2000 Dec 22, 2025 at 03:29 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

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
