2014 College Football Playoff

8 team playoff - first round on campus.
Pass. I love the four-team format.

8 teams, how bad would Oregon have beat Mississippi State?

Agree, also I dont want to diminish the bowl games. While #5 had a valid complaint this year, so would #9, as would 17 etc. Keep it at four, and make sure the SEC never wins again.

Bowl games? How would it diminish the bowl games if they would be rotating. 8 teams makes sure the Power 5 conference champions get in and at larges. I don't get how the regular season is watered down though. N

College Football wants us to watch the 'NY6' bowls in the same way we used to watch all the Jan 1st major bowls. Problem is as they expand the playoff, the other bowls are playing for less and less. Also this year the timing was troublesome, if you were on the West Coast, the Peach Bowl kicked off at 9:30am on a Wednesday.

 
News flash. There were never more than 2-3 bowls that really mattered. Anything more is the biggest hoax ever put on sports.

I watched more bowls this year than I have in years because I felt the system meant more and was less rigged.

How so? The BCS system used one game to decide it's champion. All the other major bowls like the Rose or Fiesta that weren't the NC game were basically meaningless when it came down choosing a NC. These major bowl games are being absorbed into the playoff system. I hardly see how that would diminish their value.

Buckeyes Sugar Bowl win drew largest audience in cable TV history - 28.27 million viewers on ESPN.
Both games sold out, I'm pretty sure, as will the finals. I had heard some people say that this playoff wouldn't work because people wouldn't go to both games. Either they are going to both or enough people are going to one or the other. Seems like a pretty big success financially.
