1. 8 team playoff with a spot for 1 non P5 team

2. Two made for TV neutral site games at the beginning of each season with two preseason top 5 P5 schools versus the two top preaseason non P5 schools.

3. Everyone talks about the NY6 Bowls. Let the next highest ranked non P5 have a spot in the next tier of bowls with payouts of $6 million or more. Last year they would include the Citrus Bowl, Alamo Bowl, Outback Bowl, Holiday Bowl, Texas Bowl and Camping World Bowl. Having non P5 schools taking up 2 spots out of 24 shouldn't be the end of the world for the P5.

If you have two non P5 schools playing in meaningful bowls with good payouts, you incentivize playing a tough schedule, which then will allow a great 2 loss team to make a good bowl game.

Better option 12 team playoff. Top 4 get a bye, all conference winners in plus 2 at large. Undisputed National Champion determined. Brings college football out of the dark ages and into the light of American justice.

1 vs. 4 is often a blowout. You want to add 8 more teams AND give 4 teams a bye? That won't work. Have an 8 team playoff with 1 non P5 and allow another P5 into the 2nd tier of bowls and that is as fair as it will get.

This is something I have said a few times in the past and it is a GREAT idea. The drop from the Access Bowl to the Montgomery Bowl is a huge downer. If we had access to the second tier of bowls; the extreme would be non P5 teams playing buy games against top 5-10 programs. The downside is a very tough road game. The upside is possibly the playoff and if not, you can still go to a decent bowl.

There you go again-----always screwing LIL OL MEMPHIS and teams like them out of at least a shot at the title ----again who cares about a blowout ----just lay the points---do you think LIL OLE MEMPHIS would care being a 40 point dog----HE!! no---they just want a shot

The only thing being screwed is your miniature brain. Sure, let's have an 18 game season with half of the playoff 40 point blowouts. Let's have almost as many non P5 as P5 teams in the playoff. Let's have the #60 ranked school in the playoff, but not the #10 ranked team.

Great idea.
