All league winners are automatically entered into the playoff. Then the top 8 seeds get a bye. The next 16 teams (14 of them are at large) go head to head with the winners already paired off to visit a bye team in the second round (example: Kennesaw State/Wofford winner at Weber State).

Not getting into a discussion about the value of the bowls (that's a separate topic), how do you think it would work with an FBS playoff system in this format? For this season, who would be the top 8? Who would be the next 16? Would this generate more interest among college football fans in an actual post season?

I think giving the top 8 seeds is to much of an advantage due to the culmination of injuries. I say 16 is the optimal number of teams. Take the ten FBS Conference Champions and then let the CFP Committee select the next six. Therefore, teams can control their own destiny by winning their own conference and at least get a second chance if they lose it but had and impressive season.

Then use the bowls as previously stated to house the playoff rounds.
