No controversy over who won and who didn't get a chance. No bullshit. Just games decided on the field when it matters the most.

FCS playoffs are exciting as hell. I can only imagine how exciting FBS playoffs would be in a stadium with 75,000 fans screaming for their teams to win.
Which is why all this "think of the students" bullshit from the NCAA and playoff opponents annoy the hell out of me. FCS, Division 2, Division 3, NAIA, they all have playoffs with 16+ teams, they all do just fine and people in those divisions don't complain about the "students missing class time", but as soon as we get to the FBS level, oh, well, heaven forbid they have to play more than one game. You play the tournament during the same time as the bowl games (since I imagine the bowl games would remain for all the other teams), and you'll be done by the first or second week of January at the latest, long before students start up the spring semester, instead of this current stupid "lets wait 40+ days from the end of the regular season to play the championship game" bullshit.
