Yeah, 14 would be to much. If we want something extra fancy maybe go for a 2 division 8 team playoff. You take on each team in your division once. Top 2 teams from each division make the playoffs, you do a crossover in the playoff's 1st round and those 2 winners face off for the national title.

Can we brainstorm some more out-of-the-box formats? I recently followed the world chess championship (Carlsen vs. Caruana, I'm sure everyone knew that). There were twelve draws so they went to faster time controls, Carlsen won.

So maybe 16 teams, 4 venues. 1 day of double elimination 1-quarter "games", winners advance to the semi's.
128 teams.

Clearly it needs 68 teams, first I thought 64, than 65, but 68 seems like the perfect number, for now. You know what, fuck it, lets make the regular meaningless and include all teams

Are system sucks with only for teams. An 14 team playoff is two many. Their only needs to be 8 at most.

130 team play-off is the only answer. The play-off starts in week one (the season is the play-offs). Lose the first game of the season, and BOOM! your season is done. You must win each week to advance until the final 2 are left (Natty game). 4 bye-weeks per team. Scheduling will be highly competitive.

13 teams. 3 first round byes based off primary color of their uniforms from darkest to lightest. Two second round byes based off blueblood status from oldest to newest. QB from each team left plays in an EA sports college football 2013 tournament and winner has their team bye for the 3rd round. Rock/paper/scissors for the title.
