Why I hate the 24-team playoff …
- Turns college football into the NFL. TV execs want this but college football fans don’t.
- Makes the regular season less important. What’s stopping a 11-0 team from resting its starters in the last game of the season?
- This system favors conference affiliation and media bias toward SEC and Big Ten schools
- This change is driven by television money, not a desire to deliver a better product
- Does the 24th best team in the nation actually have a shot at winning the title?
- Kills conference championship games. Whether you like them or not, the conference championship was always decided on the field.
- Kills the bowl season. One cool thing about college football is that a bunch of teams got to win their last game of the season. Now only one does and everyone else goes home a loser.
This sucks.
If they had just said at morning skate tomorrow that Jake Allen is starting and they wanted to use Hellebuyck for the upcoming games against the Capitals and then made him available to the media, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

The CFP and ESPN have agreed on a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told ESPN, a seismic move that also eliminates the lucrative Power 4 conference championship games.
