i'd like to see 16 teams like the other divisions play BUT after watching all the poorly played football in the other BCS games, 8 might be enough.

I especially like this quote

"The notion of having a Final Four approach is probably a sound one," Emmert said when asked what he heard coming out of New Orleans this week. "Moving toward a 16-team playoff is highly problematic because I think that's too much to ask a young man's body to do. It's too many games, it intrudes into the school year and, of course, it would probably necessitate a complete end to the bowl system that so many people like now."

So I guess the Div1-AA, Div 2 and Div 3 teams dont have "young man body" issues? Intrudes into the school year? lol!! Doesnt the ENTIRE REGUAR SEASON intrude into the school year? What does a 16 team playoff system have to do the Las Vegas Bowl or other bowl between 6-5 teams? Does he realize that many teams who dont make the NCAA basketball tournament play in the NIT? Isnt the Hawaii and New Orleans or Potato bowl already the football version of the NIT?

Too many games? Cut a cupcake off of the regular season.
Intrusion into the school year? Play the games in December/1st week of Jan when most schools are on break
End of the bowl system? Stop lying to us.
