Does that leave enough room for a NYD quarterfinal and Saturday semifinal without NFL interference?

Yes, absolutely.

In fact, pushing the NFL playoffs back by another 2 weeks is, in my mind, inextricably linked to whether there's an expanded 8-team playoff. If/when the NFL pushes its playoffs back, then that effectively opens up most of the month of January for a full-on 8-team college football playoff that starts on or around New Year's Day.

Ultimately, playoff games in January are worth more than playoff games in December (lowest-rated month of the year for the TV networks) for college football.

By the same token, playoff games in February (sweeps month for the TV networks) are worth more than playoff games in January for the NFL.

The more high profile games that shift toward January and February, the better it is for the TV rights for both pro and college football.
