A 24-team College Football Playoff format would be disastrous for College Football.
In 2018, if a 24-team CFP format existed, it would have included SIX 4-loss teams and even 5-LOSS Northwestern as an at-large bid…
That Northwestern team lost to 4-8 Akron at home, lost to Duke by 14, and lost to all three of the Top 15 teams they faced. That is who people are currently arguing should make the Playoff.
The regular season would be annihilated, bowl season would be finished, losing wouldn’t matter, making the CFP wouldn’t even be an accomplishment, and all for what? To watch these teams get smoked by the real contenders?
College Football is not College Basketball.
College Football is not the NFL.
College Football is not the NBA/NHL/MLB.
The enormous implications of each Saturday during the REGULAR SEASON is part of what makes our sport so great.
The coaches on the AFCA Board who voted to support expanding the playoff to 24 basically just gave the middle finger to each fan, because they’re literally rooting for CFB to become a watered-down, corporatized NFL Jr. and a shell of its former self.
