[Blue Hawk (Mizzou) Card]

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.

You forgot to leave room for the Domers (unless they count against the ACC).

In fact, given the view of Domer fans, maybe they deserve two slots.
