16 for football will make the regular season games and confrence championship games less important.
Why not just a simple 8-team tourney... 6 automatic spots going to the Conference champions of the six major confrences. One automatic spot going to the highest rated non BCS confrence champion. And one at-large selection going to the highest rated team who doesn't qualify.
The 1st round would look like so:
8-seed West Virgina at 1-seed LSU
7-seed Clemson at 2-seed Alabama
6-seed Wisconson at 3-seed Oklahoma State
5-seed Boise State at 4-seed Oregon
The remaining games in the playoff tourney would be played at alternating locations like the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, etc.
This would achieve making the regular season more important, making the conference title games more important, and having a meaningful playoff that is way better than the current Bowl system.
