RE: Playoff would have to go to 12 or 16 teams for a G5 team to even get a shot.

All of the NY6 bowls & 6 more could be used to play the 1st & 2nd round games. TV and gate revenue would soar for these games. And for the schools left standing after the first two rounds, the host venues, the TV & general interest across the country would generate interest & revenue at levels we have never seen. So what if the MAC champ has no chance against AL, we'd all watch anyway to speculate if AL is really good enough to win it all. I just don't understand the opposition given that revenue drives most all D1 decisions already.
I wouldn’t and the “P5” schools would never agree to it. Meaningless butt-whipping with a lot of chance for injury. 12 now 14 works in the NFL due to parity. College football has no such parity. 8 would be great.
Potential injuries happen everyday, as likely in practice as games. As for TV viewers, we watch in mass even the 1 vs 16 games in the MBB tourney so I'm guessing you're in the minority. Money will make the eventually decisions, and it will likely start at going to 8, then 12 & then maybe 12 or 16.
No, I watch those just like every other red-blooded American sports fan. College football does not equal college basketball. It’s an entirely different animal.
No college FB isn't college BB. College FB generates about 3x the revenues of college BB because so many more folks are watching & attending.
