More kids will get hurt and not be able to play in the NFL because of your desire to watch a couple more football games. Don't be selfish.

And for the contrarian point of view...more games equals more opportunity for players to prove themselves, potentially increasing their draft value, in turn increasing profit potential...soooo.

This. I liked the BCS. These kids, although treated like professionals, are not. Professionals only have to worry about football and get pensions for the punishment they take. We expect these guys to study and be broke college players all the while we want them to play 16-17 games a year (assuming 16 team playoff and conference championships). Pundits and anyone associated with covering this industry are not worried about crowning the most deserving team. They are concerned about having more teams involved because it means more eyes all around the country watching more games in more regions of the country. Tired of seeing these salty guys on tv complaining about how dominant the SEC west appears to be. I don't need college football mimicking the NFL. I watch both and they are supposed to be different. I have no problem with the MLB expanding playoffs for more eyeballs. That's what some folks want to happen to college football, but they're not professionals. Folks are too greedy though and just feel the need to destroy it.

I guess the NCAA does not give a shite about FCS, Div II, and Division III players since they have been in a 16 team playoff since forever.
