re: Sounds like 24 team playoff is a done deal

Of course it’s going to 24. This was a foregone conclusion when the BCS finally ripped the bowl system death grip from the sport.
And everyone loves it and will love it. If some of you don’t for whatever nostalgic reason you have then enjoy hating the sport. But it’s all been exposed as a joke.
Everyone will not love it. The vast majority of college football fans are against this full stop.
Just because we have expanded the playoff once or twice and there hasnt been a negative impact to viewership and engagement doesnt mean that will always be the case.
You go to 24 and the texas ohio state and lsu ole miss games dont matter in the regular season because you are allowed to lose them and not be greatly impacted. Thats not what made college football great. College football is great because every game matters. Which is what makes it different from the NFL.
If/when the protect college sports act passes were also going to get back to all of the talent being consolidated to the power programs with the transfer rules going back to what they used to be.
Playoff viewership may increase because of additional games but regular season will lower and we will also see more opt outs of "playoff teams".

Remember last year's playoff final, where Miami had a shot to win the title on their last drive? Miami was the only ACC team in the playoffs. Miami didn't even make the conference championship, that was between Duke (who won), and Virginia (who was the ACC 1 seed). Neither Duke nor Virginia even got into the playoffs.
The year prior Ohio State did not play in the B1G title game and won the NC.

FCS, the lower divisions, and the NFL have playoff formats like this. *shrugs*

But at least in those cases, the conference champ still got in, and I'd say was seeded higher.

It's really a bummer these entities don't listen to the fans who consume the product. But dollars over everything :/
Then don't watch the games.
I've never understood the whining over this.
Everyone will bitch and moan and act like a bunch of "purists", then will sit down and watch every last one of these games. Although I'm sure it'll be like everyone else on this board who never watches ESPN, but somehow posts about content from their network.

"a decent TV deal"
translates to
Enough advertisers who are willing to sign no default on payment if not enough people watch contracts.
