Is there a really a need for a 12 team playoff?

8 and that's barely needed.

Two is all you really need to find the best team. BCS was pretty darn good at it and maybe only once did people argue about who that second team was. Nearly every first round game in the four team playoff era went like yesterday. Total blowouts. But the 12 team playoff isn't about efficiently finding the best team. It's about generating fan interest and, more importantly, getting them to spend their money.

I think it was about 50/50 on having a clear 2. The big controversy was undefeated Auburn being left out in 2004. Even the year we played for the title, a lot thought Ohio State should’ve been 2 over FSU.
