There is a major positive for a 24 team playoff….. depending how they structure the games and locations, it will give a lot of these matchups that never happen, a real shot at happening.

It will also give fan bases opportunities to travel to game sites they’ve never experienced. Imagine Minnesota Gopher fans having a chance to experience The Death Valley in Baton Rouge, or LSU fans a chance to experience the Big House or Happy Valley….

It’s fun to think about.

No SEC needs to add a BIG 10 team for entertainment sake when we already play 9 SEC games no matter how bottom rung BIG 10 team it is. This isn't about playing better teams we already do that. For SEC teams it's about navigating a gauntlet schedule and having health when we need it.

With a 24 Team playoff you will 100000% see coaches benching players late in the season when they know they are making it in.

Only one BYE in the regular season
I thought LSU was starting their season a week earlier next year in order to get an extra bye week?

I don’t disagree but we said the same shite with 12 and we haven’t done it yet




Firing the coach does mean that someone found it unacceptable

I think there will be problems & nobody will be happy until this is addressed: 1. Only one BYE in the regular season 2. Depth is much harder to build than it ever has been before (portal, NIL era) With a 24 team field, I can see coaches becoming willing to trade a game here or there to keep guys healthy. It sounds crazy, but it happens in the NFL all the time (especially toward the end of the season).


Not a concern

1.) teams can essentially have 2 bye weeks now that Week 0 games have been opened up to everyone.

2.) Teams will not sit players if you structure things correctly. You just have to incentivize finishing at the top of the rankings. The top 8 teams will get byes, which will basically be a 3rd bye week. As long as they re-seed the teams each round and have the top remaining team play the lowest remaining team in the tournament, there will a be a strong incentive to finish at the top of the rankings.
