No reason at all to opposed a 16 or even 8 team playoff.
I would be opposed to a 16 game playoff. 8 teams would work but would prefer a 6 team format with the top 2 seeds getting byes or 4 team playoff.
The reasoning:
College Football has the greatest regular season in all of sports. Every game is like a playoff game, because one loss demorilizes your chances of winning a championship. The beginning of the season is as good as the middle of the season which is as good as the end of the season.
A 16 game playoff would ruin some of this. Would anybody have cared about Arkansas/Florida, USC/UCLA or Michigan/Ohio St with a 16 game playoff? Probably not because the games would have likely only affected seeding. However, because of the current system in place...these games were like playoff games.
While I agree the current system isnt ideal, it does keep the regular season excitement to the max. Would I prefer a 4 or 6 team playoff, absolutely. But 8 or especially 16 games would really take away from the regular season excitement.
