I think it should be 16. Champ from each conference and 5 at large berths.

it brings out better parity... It lets the none power 5 teams show their power and gives them a chance to prove they are the best. It gives it a Cinderella story effect....

Although its has drawbacks, most importantly extending the season to 16 games (NFL!) for championship teams, it would assure that no deserving team would be left out solely based on conf. affiliation

I really think it should be a 16 team playoff but eight is better than 4 or 6! Put the 2 best teams from every conference and let's see who comes out the winner.

I think it needs to be 16 teams like the lower divisions...

You will always have a power 5 school left out with current format. 5 conference winners s/b automatic with 3 at large. Pandora's box is open, embrace it.

After watching the NCAA basketball & baseball tourneys, football needs to have an 8-team playoff. Two reasons; so non-power five teams have a chance and (2) there are 5 power conferences, not four.

So teams like UCF can’t be left out.

Although it would take away games from conferences most want to see a robust competition for a national champion, including other than the power five conferences.

The move to an 8-team playoff is all about generating more TV money, not about identifying the best team. The present system, for all its faults, is the best balance of revenue and quality.

Four is enough. If 8, why not 16, or for that matter 32? Regardless of the number, those left out will say they were robbed.

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
