The salient points that drove my preference were...
1. Cut to the chase. Give us the one, dream game that everybody wants to see. Good on good. Don't run the risk of Coppin uh Feel State throwing a turd in the punch bowl
2. Minimize the number of extraneous games the student athletes need to play. These guys are going to Willis Maghee themselves to win a NC. We don't need more American Carnage.
But now... I'm good with a 12 team playoff. It's the only way that Ucla will ever stand a chance to make "the postseason".
But more importantly, it's diffused the talent in cfb.
No longer is all the talent at 3 schools. The cfp (and nil and the no waiting tp) has given kids a chance to get PT *AND* still have a chance to win it all. So now the talent is spread across 15 to 20 teams.
