Still don't like that they expanded all the way to 12. Random occurrence that it was more spicy with many 2 loss teams on the brink. #1 seed should play lowest winning seed from first round like NFL. First round was boring with the blowouts, but extra football wasn't all bad. I liked the timeline of when they held the games for consecutive days of important games coinciding with NFL playoffs and didn't mind it expanding out to the 20th. It still held my interest despite an awful Final 4.
Ohio State winning it all with 2 losses encourages the committee to just keep putting in the brand names with the expectation they continue to roll the Boise States of the world regardless of how they looked on the field in regular season.
They also need to move ESD somehow to stop it from interfering with conference championship week with the importance placed on that surrounding playoffs. Can't imagine the conference contenders like having to worry about recruiting that week even with 95% of their class locked in.
