Yeah but that’s not the case. There are plenty of ADs that would love to put as many resources into their football program as the top echelon does, but they can’t afford to... Because the fact that different programs play by different rules.

CFP-With Right HC and 8 teams, this is not unrealistic

Regarding the scholarship limits: I think any reduction in D-1 limits would have to be accompanied by a corresponding increase in D-1AA and D-2 limits. We don’t want to take away opportunities for kids to attend college. On balance, though, I like the idea of dropping the limits. College football is very top heavy right now. And while true NFL style parity should not be the goal, having 3-4 teams every year with a legit chance at a national championship gets old fast. That number should be around 20, with an 8-game playoff so the importance of the regular season doesn’t get lost.
Awesome thought. Win/win

Oh it'll happen. It just may be a while. Don't forget that no one thought they would ever get rid of the old bowl and poll voting system back in the day.
I guess I forgot. I'm nearly 50 and started following college football closely around age 14. I can't recall a time when a significant number of fans didn't believe that a playoff would eventually happen. I think the writing has been clearly on the wall for most everyone to see since the Bowl Coalition formed in 1992.
I'm only a bit older than you, but I remember the chatter about how the entities in power would never allow a playoff system. But then again, I'm a bit older than you so maybe my memory has faded.

How will they strike deal with NFL?
Are you referring to the potential scheduling conflicts with an extra weekend of college football? I don't see how the NFL impacts a larger playoff otherwise.
Going back to the intent of the OP, I obviously want to see CU in the CFP as soon as possible, but after watching this game.... holy hell would we get drilled.
It would be a glorious ride to get there and great for the program, but we have a long, long road if we would ever get there and actually have a chance at competing.

True, but osu, ou, and Clemson have all gotten drilled in the CFP.
You can add Alabama to that list. They just lost 44-16 in a game where Clemson took their foot off the gas and didn’t score after the third quarter. On the final 14 play drive, Clemson attempted one pass for no gain (so not a downfield attempt). Otherwise, they ran it down their throats 13 times to run out the final 10 minutes (yes, 10 minutes) of game clock.
