re: [The Athletic] What An Expanded Playoff May Look Like

The playoff has inarguably made college football worse off than it was in the BCS era.

So lets DOUBLE down and further entrench the same teams who will compete for a title every year while sucking the meaning out of the regular season.

Disagree. Expand the playoffs and recruiting changes. You see the same constant groupies that want to go to the same 4-5 schools each year because “their chance at the playoffs.” You open that up to a number of schools and recruiting widens a little bit. Texas, USC, Miami all aren’t holding their weights. The kids that normally go to these schools flock to Alabama and Ohio St.
