Best part of expanding the playoffs is that there will be fewer players opting out.

Is it though? It will just kill off bowl games as they struggle to fill all those slots anyway.
16 team bracket, top 4 from each of the power 3, plus two wildcards.

Let’s just go with the top 8 from each of the P2.
Nebraska could make that every other decade.

I was always against it. But the college football we once new is done. Go with a legit real playoff because why not at this point.
Maybe so, but at least these playoff games were actually mean something. Bowl games are just not what they used to be.

The lower tier playoff games aren't going to mean shit as most will be blowouts. Quit kidding yourself.

Now there’s a new @OregonDucks scenario where one of the 2 teams playing in the B1G championship gets snowed in and Oregon happens to be in town to watch along with their gear ironically….
but the other team is Michigan State and both teams have their green jerseys so it’s called a no contest!

Yup. The playoff caused this. There's no way conferences would have expanded past 12-14 if there was only a slim shot at sending 1 team to the BCS title game. With 4 spots, conferences got a little more comfortable since they could send multiple teams to the playoff. And with 12 teams in the playoff, there's really no limit to how many good teams can go. The B10 and SEC will likely regularly send 3-4 teams to the playoff so who cares if there are 18 teams in the conference.
I miss the days when bowl games actually kind of meant something and there was a tier of bowl games that were just better than others. Now you go to the Capitol One Bowl and everyone sits out because it's not the playoff. Hell, the Rose Bowl became a consolation prize.
Now, bowls only in the playoff will matter. All other bowl games will be absolutely trash -- and they may start shutting them down.
