i thought about the comparison to the percentage of teams making the playoffs if you had a 16-team tournament vs. a 32-team tournament, and i think that you're right, leaving the other bowls for all the other teams not in the top 15% probably doesn't hurt anyone, but I just wonder if anyone outside of lackluster 7-5 teams and 2nd place small conference teams would really care about that papajohns.com bowl or whatever... regardless, I do acknowledge that my 32-team tournament is basically a fantasy, but it should be fun to have the computer simulate out anyways, and with the structure there it wouldn't be too hard to set up a 16-team tournament... i would certainly prefer 16 to 8, as you said earlier it would allow all the conf. champs plus the worthy at-large bids, however if there actually is a tournament (and not just a plus-one) system implemented in the next several years, my guess is that it would be a 4-team showdown or 8-team bracket...
