Expanding the field won't change the boredom with Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State always being among the top 3 or 4 teams.

A 12 team model - 
So that would mean
1 Group of 5
1 Pac-12
1 ACC
1 Big-12
3 BigTen
5 SEC

However, any time a playoff includes multiple rounds it becomes less likely you will see seed #1 v seed #2 in the final.   Given that Clemson & Alabama now own #1 and #2, anything that reduces that rematch works for me.

That noted - the 5-12 seeds would need to win 4 playoff games to get the title.   That's similar to the path NFL wildcard teams need to navigate to win the Super Bowl.  That's a long playoff journey for a bunch of "student"-athletes working (errr...playing) for in-state tuition at their nearby State U.
