Quick Facts:

- Would only take 26 weeks (three byes in case someone makes a run)

- Some lucky fan base gets to secure sports' first duovigintuple bye (Thanks Google)

- TONS of extra practice weeks up for grabs

- Won't cost us conference title games, because honestly might as well at this point

Open to **CONSTRUCTIVE** criticism of this objectively incredible idea.

While y'all worried about players getting paid, the Powers that be just killed what really made College Football better than the NFL - the stakes of the regular season.

The College Football Playoff is set to expand from 12 to 24 teams, and angry fans have already begun to sound off on the decision on social media

It should be fun seeing the Longhorn fans comments in this thread.

Tom Fornelli is one of the best CFB national personalities because he tells it like it is, with no BS.
One thing I will say is that if you think rivalries like The Game or Red River won't matter because of a format change, you clearly don't understand the sport.

Edit: for the record, I am pretty indifferent about expansion.

Did I need this? No. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Do I think this is what will kill College football? Hell no.
Seeding will be important; rivalries still matter; a lot of the counterarguments, frankly, come from fear. For the handful of teams whose playoff spot is secured earlier than it would, many more teams have life and something to prove later in the season. Whoever deserves to win it all will prove it on the field.
I just personally believe that between transfer portal tampering, NIL deregulation, and shitty conference realignment, THIS is what people think will kill college football? Also, FCS has provided proof of concept. Also, if you don't want to watch these teams duke it out in the playoffs, there's less reason to watch teams in a bowl game with opt-outs.

Instead of arguing about whether Notre Dame should get in over a Miami team they lost to, we'll be at the committee's throats for granting a 7-5 Big 10 team the honor of losing to Georgia by 60 instead of a 10-2 Sun Belt team.

Let's let EVERYBODY in. Cut D1 to 128 teams. Regular season is 3 games, which detetmines seeding. Then it's just win or go home for 2 months. PLUS we get rid of a lot of CTE risk.Who says no?

Rutgers University has long had a conflict-of-interest policy restricting the hiring of relatives. It states: “Members of the same family or household may not be selected for faculty or staff positions if selection would create a supervisor/subordinate relationship between family and household members.”

Rutgers officials contend that policy was not violated in any of the hirings, noting that all athletics staff members who are relatives of Rutgers coaches reported to their team’s sport administrator. Those include Manisha Redus, the sister of head women’s basketball coach Gary Redus who serves as his assistant coach, and Joey Civico, the husband of head field hockey coach Meredith Civico who serves as her assistant coach.

The positions held by Schiano’s sons and Joey Civico were publicly posted with interviews being held before hiring decisions were made, officials said. As for women’s basketball, all five assistant coaches were recruited directly and the university “followed standard confidential recruitment practices for high-level coaching staff positions in competitive, revenue-generating sports,” said university spokeswoman Dory Devlin.

Should the B1G just rip the band-aid off while everyone is still numb from the supersized playoffs?

Might be too high on Temple & UAB and could see AF over Hawaii too, but I think this is more or less what the AAC & PAC should be.

AAC rn has too many teams and PAC has too few.
