1. 16 teams
This keeps regular season relevant as conference champs get automatic playoff spots.
And… there will still be enough at-large spots for high ranking teams who don’t win their conferences.
2. Two weeks in beginning of December to determine final four
Extending the season for 16 teams is not going to hurt academics. We have games during mid-terms. We have basketball teams playing during the winter break. It’ll be all right.
3. Let the bowls bid for the right to host the final four and championship games
This keeps the bowl system alive and NCAA maximizes revenue.
Bowls can still make money hosting interesting matchups.
4. Two weeks in beginning of January to determine national champion
Two weeks of playoffs in January? I remember when the bowls were all done New Years weekend. Wasn’t last year’s championship game in the 3rd week of January?
That’s it! Easy peasy, right?
