13 of the past 33 College Basketball National Champions wouldn't have even made the tournament if they used the CFP method ....

So, a 5 or 6 round tournament with two games per week?

Yeah, I would love to see them use the same old tired standard talking points on the 89-90 UNLV team.  "Sure, they can beat a Power 5 team every now and then, but not week in and week out"  LOL!  The sad thing is, I can see old Herbie and the ESECPN crew doing just that.

8 teams with P5 champs, highest G5 champ, and two at-large is the fairest way to go without diluting it too much.

Absolute fairest would be 12 teams, all conference champs, and two at-large teams with top 4 seeds getting a 1st round bye.  Seeds 5-8 get home field for the 1st round.

It's really not hard to do

After the 1st round, Alabama would host the lowest remaining seed, Clemson next lowest, and so on...

The P5 didn’t put all of that effort into separating themselves and creating their own playoff system just to let every conference into the playoffs and give themselves just 40% better chance of gettting in over the WAC champions. If this expansion ever took place and went the way it’s being prescribed most teams would be better off having been in a crappier conference than they are currently in, no one is going to buy into that.

I don't think, for one second, that my scenario would ever come to fruition.  I just think it would be fun to see.  I think Georgia, Ohio State, and Washington would all have their hands full in my playoff.
