I'd like to see more compelling non-conference match-ups in the early season (Unbelievably Spoiled Children/Alabama should be good) and wish more teams would schedule like we do, but that's not something that playoffs fix, and instead of expanding playoffs, I wish television would push to have better pre-season matchups (for example, I would love to have a Pac-12/SEC challenge)

The #1 argument to me is that I want to see more games between top tier teams from the Pac-12 and SEC, and I think an expanded playoff is the most likely way that will happen on a regular basis. These matchups have not been happening organically, likely because neither conference wants to travel across the country and also the SEC's general attitude about OOC scheduling.

Then you will like Alabama/USC the first week of the season.
