You read that correctly. Washington State Cougars head coach Mike Leach has always been an advocate for a playoff at the FBS level, but he thinks that it should involve more teams: 60 more teams, to be exact.

During the PAC-12 car wash at ESPN on Wednesday, Cougar head man Mike Leach told Heather Dinich that the current format of the College Football Playoff should be extended. Not to eight teams; not to 16 teams; and not even to 32 teams.

As of the 2015 season, there are 128 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools. Leach is suggesting that half of them make the playoff bracket.

That's right. 64 teams.

In order to acquiesce to this demanding potentially six game playoff, he proposed the idea to shorten the regular season to just 10 games, as opposed to 12, allowing college football to trek through the first two rounds of the playoff.

While most will scoff and laugh at this idea, Leach is actually onto something here. Mathematically, the chances of precisely including the four best teams in a four-team playoff are basically slim-to-none, most likely none. Should you expand it to 64 teams, you will most definitely include the four best teams, along with the 10 best teams, the 20 best teams, and even the 30 best teams. The margin of error is now a direct inverse of the likelihood of selecting the four best teams in a four-team playoff.

Is it too much too soon? Absolutely. But we are all advocates of having the teams settle it on the field, right? Well, this is the best way to do it, albeit definitely not the most efficient.

It should also be noted that he is the head coach at Washington State, a team that is consistently flirting with the middle of the pack in college football. Is he just making up an excuse to include them in the playoff, or is he actually trying to make the game better?
