Well be assured that's the way it will be. One of the main arguments for going to eight is so all power 5 conference winners (5) will be included and none will be left out.I like eight, but I see no reason to guarentee conference champs an automatic bid.
No. I just want a Big 12 Championship game.
We should be watching the first 4 games of an 8 team playoff this weekend. Instead we get garbage until New Years Eve.
Moot discussion. It will be 8. It should be 8. You can bet your life it will be 8.Yes. 8 about right. Don't understand the dilution of the regular season argument. This year top 8 would have included NDame and Ohio State. No 3 loss teams there. And pretty clear separation from No. 9 Fla. State. Like most years. Only possible problem would be a conference championship upset (e.g. USC over Stanford) but that would be rare in my opinion.
