Why does the FBS Playoffs have to involve the bowl games?

I get having the championship game at a neutral site, but why does the Semi-Finals and/or Quarterfinals need to be at a neutral site too? The NCAA DI (aka FCS Playoffs), DII, DIII, and even the NFL doesn't do it, so why does the FBS NEED to do it? If the FBS wants to keep the bowl, then that is fine. Let teams, who don't make the FBS Playoffs, play in those games.

I agree with Mr. Smith, it should be 8, but greed will win out. -- goldendomer 02/19/2022 12:25AM

Heck - lets just go with 32 with that logic. More fun and $ for everyone. ** -- 133193Hokie 02/22/2022 2:07PM

Because there is A LOT more parity at the FCS level. -- HokieToph 02/19/2022 3:08PM

FCS isn't tied down to all those bowl games. -- Old Line Hokie 02/19/2022 11:51AM

8 team playoff would be great with the four top bowls. -- Truthahn 02/22/2022 9:24PM

I like an even bracket, so I am against 12. But 8 or 16 would be great. -- Maroon Baboon 02/19/2022 10:16AM

I know you're not. -- Maroon Baboon 02/19/2022 12:47AM
