so top 16.
currently, 70 teams play in a bowl. that's a big difference isn't it?
sorry, i just think if a playoff was more lucrative, they'd have done it. but right now people get cuts that perhaps would not in a different system. conferences have multiple teams in a variety of bowls. there's no way that the amount of playoff games and teams involved would match what is currently made with the 35 bowls being played.
8 first round, 4 second round, semis and the final. 15 games. a third of the games, and less than a fourth of the teams that are currently involved.
ncaa basketball is mentioned with their finals as an example. 64 teams go there. so, numbers-wise regarding teams, it's very similar in how many play in the post season.
