I could see a 32 team or a 16 team playoff to determine the national champion. 32 teams would take 5 weeks to complete and 16 would take 4 weeks to complete. I personally think that they could cut a couple of weeks off the schedule and make it say 10 weeks. The top 16 in the AP polls make the playoffs. Play the next 4 weeks to determine the national champion. It works great for basketball, why can't it work for football.
