College football fans have been clamoring for an expansion to the four-team playoff model since before the two-team BCS format was dead and buried in January 2014.
Every November and December, people gripe that four entrants aren't enough; that more than half of the FBS teams still have no hope of playing for a national championship. This year in particular—as UCF rides a 25-game winning streak and without a path to the Top Four—those cries are louder than ever. But it seemed like we were just collectively screaming at a brick wall that wouldn't ever change to eight teams.
