If you believe the former the 6+6, with the 6 being the champions from the highest rated 6 conferences is your answer.

If you're fine with the first round being blowouts (much like the semifinals are now BTW) and prefer rewarding conference champions it's the latter.

I think the 6+6 provides the best playoff which is the goal.

The 6+6 is way better than the current playoff. But it’s really just a way to pacify all of us “Group of Five” schools. Now, they can just give us a single spot, and eliminate much of the debating that’s been going on at the end of each season about whether or not an undefeated UCF or whoever is worthy enough to be in the playoff. Forget about two G5 schools, it will never happen. They’ll make sure of it. But the good thing about the 6+6, is whoever makes it will not be matched up first round against the #1 team. They’ll have a better chance to show we belong.

Can you tell me the last 10 MAC or Sun belt winners and which one of them was going to win the National championship?

As a G5 fan I’m all for let’s play the games and let the on field results matter but 12 is plenty and the way it’s set up should ensure only quality teams get into the playoff

Look at some of the P5 teams like Notre Dame or Oklahoma that have gotten *****-slapped in the playoffs in the last few years. Go ahead and put the MAC, Sun Belt, C-USA, MWC, and American champions all in the playoffs. I doubt they can do much worse than some of these P5 teams we've seen get absolutely annihilated.
