text: if the ncaa were to ever have a division 1 playoff, what kind of format should it have? would you have just four teams play as part of an expanded bowl championship series?  or would you scrap it for an eight, twelve, sixteen, or twenty-four team format? 16 teams, just like they do it at all the other levels of college football. have the major bowls take turns hosting the finals and the other major bowls be the semifinals.  the minor bowls can be the equivalent of the postseason nit in women's and men's basketball.
