College Football Playoff expands to 24 teams in 2027 amid criticism over player safety and schedule The College Football Playoff will expand to 24 teams in 2027, raising concerns about player injuries, schedule changes, and the sport's soul as conferences chase revenue. The College Football Playoff is expanding to 24 teams in 2027, with more games coming to campuses across the country. The move has sparked criticism that the playoff is sacrificing its soul to become an ATM for conferences. College Football Playoff Expansion IncentivesOne major concern is that a 24-team playoff will not increase the chances schools schedule tough out-of-conference games during the regular season. What incentive do schools have unless ESPN throws a massive pile of cash at them? This year, Indiana's football season didn't begin until Oct. 10 when it faced its first road test at Nebraska.Yes, there was the home game against Northwestern that was way closer than it should've been, but facing Northwestern in this era is not considered a massive game. These schools don't have the depth to get through these seasons as is, so why make it any tougher? Coach Curt Cignetti knows the formula. Treat the first 3-4 games as the preseason.Get your transfer NIL quarterback acquainted. Build continuity with the playoff as the target. Indiana had to win three games to win the title in January. With the 24-game tournament, it would now need to win four games.Why play harder early games? That's more chances for injuries, more chances to lose your quarterback, more wear and tear on bodies, and more travel. Unless we go to two super conferences and ban games against the MAC, Conference USA, and others, Indiana isn't changing a thing. I don't want to hear college football complain when it turns itself into college basketball.College Basketball And Football Calendar ConflictsThere is absolutely no reason, unless you're a degenerate, to get worked up over a regular-season college basketball game. 8-4 Iowa would've made the tournament last year. Let that sink in. Personally, I don't need college football in late January. Enough already.This year, the championship will be played on Jan. 25. I love college football, but by then, I'm burnt out. Now I'm left wondering how CFB will fill conference championship weekend because there's zero chance they don't play games the weekend after Thanksgiving. Do they move rivalry week into December?I don't see that happening. What sells more Thanksgiving weekend advertising: Random SEC games or something else? If you're a top-level college talent who might be a first-round draft pick, how are you going to feel about being required to play more high-level games and risk more wear on your body?

Bob sat in a chair and mumbled for like 70 minutes. I get that Bob mumbles, and that's his thing, but I'm talking mumbling to the point where it felt like he should've been institutionalized. I wouldn't recommend a Dylan show to an enemy.Thank you for saying what a lot of us have been doing.
