True. I think there are 5-6 teams every year that can peak and win it all.

Here's the 4 I think the SEC bias selection committee will pick

1. Alabama - Because that's why the playoff started to make sure they aren't left out (The Saban Rule)
2. Ole Miss - They beat Alabama like a drum
3. Tennessee - They should've beat Alabama
4. Arkansas - Because Bret Bielema says they should, they beat Ole Miss who beat Alabama and most importantly the selection committee chair Jeff Long is Arkansas Director of Athletics

Charleston Southern is on the fence because they won 8 straight before running into the Alabama buzz saw in Tuscaloosa.

False. The reality is with the conference championship games, you already have four play in games plus a regular season wild card, i.e. Big 12 and Notre Dame.

The truth is that once the current CFP contract expires, it will go to eight teams. Follow the money.

If not 8, then 6? Two teams with Byes and 3 plays 6 and 5 plays 4?

With 8 teams you'll almost always have someone with 2 losses. Just like Ohio State this year, if they take care of business and beat Sparty they are in. If someone loses 2 games they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Needed it last year, needed it this year, and probably every year until they get it.I wouldn't want more than 8 teams, but too many one loss teams are being left out to way it is now not to mention a conference champion every year.I hate the fact one bad game can ruin your year.I am all for second chances.

Follow the guide that D II has used for years. I would not mind seeing 8 teams.

I would like the expansion to 8 teams. Then it would truly be the best of the best finishing out the season. But, I think we need to stay at 4 for a few years.
