How I would like to see a national football tournament organized.
First: 16 teams
Second: seed top eight conference champions
Third: seed the eight at large invitees
Fourth: All first round games at the home field of the conference
champions with 20% of seats available to visiting opponent (home team keeps all proceeds from ticket sales)
Fifth: The last 7 games played at neutral sites.
Sixth: Maintain this system for a minimum of 5 years to allow everyone
to come around to realize this is the most equitable system and
is the one that should have always been in place.

that has been my desire for a while. It makes too much sense, so it'll never be used.

Love it. Will never happen as the "Big Boys" want no part in giving schools like us a chance to compete at that level.

Is it fair...
That 2 loss Georgia ranked in the top 5 should have to play at the Cusa home field

Yep-its fair---Georgia should not of lost 2 --and won their conference if they wanted to host a home game--they should have just played better---plus the fixed/fake/rigged rankings are ALWAYS SKEWED in the big boys favor anyway

Agreed, I would go so far as to say no 2 loss team should be in playoffs period, no matter how good the “experts” want to tell us how much they pass the eye test or look good on paper…..if they are fortunate enough to make playoffs they absolutely deserve to be on road regardless of opponent…..but 2 losses should make them Play the B10 or another P4 champ.

Georgia had 1 loss to #3 Alabama and went into the playoff ranked #3 in the country.
Georgia
12-1
1 loss to Alabama, 12-1 and ranked #3 in the country
#3 in the country entering the playoff
Beat 4 ranked teams
Utah State
10-3
Lost to 7-5 Boise at home by 24
Lost to 6-6 Wyoming at home by 27
Lost to 10-3 BYU at home by 14
Your position is that 1 loss Georgia (the eventual national champion btw) did NOT deserve a home game, but 3 blowout loss Utah State DID deserve a home game?
Because Georgia did NOT play well enough to deserve a home game, but Utah State, DID?

RE: How I would like to see a national football tournament organized.
I kind of like the idea that if you don’t win your conference, you get a road game. Make Conference Champs really mean something. The P5 already has all the money and the best of everything else. The polls will make sure they can advance more than one team to the tourney. Once the teams are set though, forget the pollsters. I think this would have an impact on recruiting for all the other conferences and I think that would be a great thing. And being a great thing for all the non-P5 tams/conferences would be the reason none of this will ever happen.

If the NCAA controlled college football, this would have a chance. However, the top conferences control college football, so no way this ever happens.
I will add, that if every conference champ got a guaranteed bid and a home game, that would be the end of conference championship games.
Thus ... no more Lulu & Junior!

Based on the OP'S (KEEPER) idea on what the playoffs should be ------absolutely ----Georgia would have known the rules and criteria ---they should have played better and won their conference if they wanted to host a home game !
They played better than every single school in the country except two. Utah State would have been 4-9 playing their schedule. If it was the NCAA basketball tournament, it would have been a #11 seed playing a home game against a #1 seed. Super fair.
Everyone gets a trophy.
