Nevertheless, I recognize that I'm in the minority on this issue, and I strongly expect that FBS will eventually follow the model of other sports and expand their playoffs for the crassest of motives - cash. So here's how I would like to see that go down.

I like it better than 5/1/2, less than straight-8.

One thing it definitely does is raises the stakes of conference championship games.

I'm not sure about that. Most years, a majority of P5 conference title games have big implications for playoff berths. Usually there is one that doesn't but often four do.
