quote:

Today’s College Football Playoff commissioners meeting included a discussion of growing the field to 14 or more in 2026 and beyond.

Also discussed potentially more auto-bids for leagues.

“We discussed everything,” AAC commissioner Mike Aresco says. “No conclusions.”

quote:

Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti called today the most productive CFP meeting he’s been a part of.

“We talked about some formatting and 14 came up. We’ve got more work to do.”

There's not 14 teams that can win it all. Never has been, even when we just had the vote...especially now with a few programs dominating the NIL collectives.

Keep it at 12, give all the other teams a participation trophy for their trophy case plus orange slices and a juice box for each player. That should calm folks down.

People don’t give a shite about bowl games anymore, might as well follow all the other major sports and just have a giant playoffs at the end of the year

12 is already too many. Should’ve been 8 with 5 conference champs and 3 at-large

The only logical argument in favor of expanding the playoffs at this point is that it probably curbs the trend of players opting out of meaningless bowl games. The 4th and 5th best SEC and B1G teams don’t deserve playoff spots

We’re rapidly approaching a situation where there are just two conferences - if we ain’t there already - so more auto bids is a crap idea.

Hell let’s just end the regular season at Halloween, then have a 68-team tournament like basketball does.

14 is dumb - either do 8 or 16 if they need to do more than 4.

Lets be honest...

CFB is 15 teams and under. We have a top 25 but its always been 15 teams that matter in any given year.

And the bottom half of those 15 are purely Cinderellas.

It's really 8. At the MAX...still makes the season relevant but gives a little leeway for the underrepresented or non-media darlings. But every year we know who the 4 best teams are...and we'll certainly know it with it 8. 14 is a mockery, devalues the season for profit and just allows the usual suspects more do-overs.

Folks, we're in the passing lane to the Superconferences taking over college football. The rest is a band-aid on a severed arm.
