While I agree in theory, a 12 team playoff means a team with less elite talent can beat one that has the elites, but most are on the sidelines in street clothes. Attrition counts, having a really strong two deep at the most important positions will be key.
I tend think a bigger playoff makes it tougher for a less talented team to win it all.

Take the past two seasons for instance..TCU banged themselves up so badly beating Michigan they couldn't even put up much of a fight with Georgia, same (to a lesser degree) with Udub beating us before they faced Michigan. Not saying Georgia and Michigan didn't have injuries as well, but both teams had a better two deep.
