Pretty wild to see the change in support for the 24 team model versus the 16 team model these past two years or so.

If we could cut down on the G6 teams in here, which i believe the committee will do now that the format is 24, this ain’t all that bad as a substitute for conference championship games.

Getting in that top 8 IS extra important for that bye week. Quite frankly, this first round basically operates as a large single elimination playin tournament for a 16 team playoff.
 
Whoever makes the championship game from the 16 or 24 Team playoffs won't have enough healthy body to field

Because of the elimination of conference championship games, it’s the same amount of games if you are a top 8 team who gets a bye as it was for IU.

And at most, there will be two teams who play 17 games; presuming that the 8 teams with byes all get eliminated before the championship game.

The lack of two byes during the regular season, if they go that route, troubles me
