I think that only one of the first round games was competitive. Both semi-final were though.I am not really a fan of 12 teams (wish it was either 8 or 16) but I have to say this playoffs has had a lot of really good games. A big improvement over prior years with just the top 4.
Yah, the first round, aside from ND-IN were pretty much all blow outs. The Quarter finals games between AZ/ TX & ND/GA were both good games (to me). And then as you said, the semi finals were both good games. I feel like there aren't 12 realistic national championship teams every year, but there are certainly more than 4. So with the expanded field, at least the real national champion is almost always assured to be in the field. (Would FL st have won the national championship last year? Probably not, but if there were 8 teams in the field, at least we would have found out) But we do get a few Indianas, SMU's or Boise States in there. Personally I think 8 is the right number. If you're ranked #9 in the country, you're probably not a realistic national champion. But if they do have more than 8, I think giving some teams an extra bye week ins't completely fair, so I'd prefer 16 over 12.I think that only one of the first round games was competitive.

Both of these fan bases are friggin' obnoxious. I wish this game could end in a 0-0 tie.![]()

Played out pretty much as I thought it would... except for that doinked field goal attempt by ND...
But, one thing the 12-team format did was to not exclude good teams that were capable of winning the title. It also called into question what that ideal number is. Maybe 8 would be enough.
