pf9 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Preferably, as I have said before, an 8-team format putting the best four non-Southern teams in the Osborne bracket (named for Tom Osborne of Nebraska) and the four best Southern teams in the Bowden bracket (named for Bobby Bowden of West Virginia and Florida State) would be the best way to go for an expansion of the playoff to 8 teams. I liked that the best from the South played the best from outside the South this year, though it could have been jeopardized by having one of the games go a different way.

pf9 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Note that due to television concerns, the regional semifinals, if all going to be on the same network (preferably ABC), would not be able to all be played on the same day.

pf9 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Regional semifinals would be hosted by the #1 and #2 seeds in each bracket. They can only be held at the normal home stadium of the home team if the stadium has at least 65K seats. Only a small portion of P5 schools have home stadiums that meet the capacity requirement. Other teams would play at the closest stadium which does meet the capacity requirement, with everything done to ensure a "home game" environment for these teams.
