@Brett_McMurphy Pending approval - which it will be approved - @CFBPlayoff headed to 12 teams. Earliest start would be after 2023 regular season, sources told @Stadium . Because of impact of expanded playoff, expect anywhere from 4-10 bowls to be eliminated by 2023, sources said

I dont think 2023 is the earliest it can be done

quote:

The date of implementation of a potential new format was not a part of the working group's proposal and would be a matter considered if any recommendation is approved by the board of managers. Hancock said the format will not change this year or next year. The current agreements for the four-team CFP extend through the 2025-26 season.

With our annual talent, as much as I don’t like this for the sport, this is a good thing for LSU.

So what's the most games a team could play in season in this format?

12 regular season
1 Conf Champ
4 playoff games?

You almost want to be at 1 loss and #2 in the west. Avoid the conference championship, still make the playoffs, and get a first round game at home.

Would the additional gamers require college athletic union approval?

Regardless, the institution we all know and love is on its way out.

Good. 4 teams isn’t a “playoff”, it’s a play-in.

We need a more exciting post season in CFB.

I'm all for expanding the playoffs, but 12 is too many. 8 is perfect, and only increases the time by one round.

12 dilutes it too much.

No problems with this, as already mention this placates smaller conferences and generates more money. If you don't know this is about the bucks then you don't know college football.

Eliminating some bowls is a good thing. The lower tiered bowls are pretty much a participation trophy at this point.

A great decision, but don’t it will happen before the ‘25 season.
