Posted December 19, 2024Dec 19 Moderator It just had to be Twice as BIG Ward, who played in the 2021 FCS playoffs with Incarnate Word, had a suggestion for the Playoff committee going forward. He believes the “sweet spot” for the CFP field would be between 16-24 teams, more like how the FCS does it. The FCS has 24 teams in its field, and if the FBS had the same number, Ward’s Hurricanes would be Playoff-bound.
December 19, 2024Dec 19 I seriously doubt there are 12 legitimate contenders for the national championship. Granted the expanded playoff isn't about expanding the playoff to allow for more contenders to compete. The reality is that I think there are probably 4 maybe 5 actual conteders this year. Certainly not 12. The expanded playoff is about the money. I think so much of the excitement this year about the playoff has been about making the playoffs. 24 spots kinda loses some of that drama.

A lot of people were worried that would happen expanding from 4, but that become so exclusive, expansion had to happen, 14-16, would still have the, "making the playoffs" feel. But 24?
