I guess there should be data on whether there are more injuries in FBS or FCS? If, because FBS athletes are bigger/faster/stronger than FCS athletes, injuries are more frequent in FBS, then that would support the notion that a 16 or 24 team playoff isn't a good idea from a health POV for FBS.

If not, then not.

I think 8 is more than enough. The 5 P5 champs and the top G5 would be acceptable. When you add in the top two non-champs, you then eliminate any chance that the top 2 schools could possibly be left out of the playoffs. I think that model is not too big—not too small—and minimizes the subjective influence of the committee while guaranteeing that the top two teams can’t be left out due to a CCG upset. It may not be the perfect model, but it’s darn close,
