So I'm really hoping and pushing for that.

And as far as the playoffs, it's funny, this clickbait world we're in, I did an interview on 3 a couple weeks ago that

I said, I'd love to have as many teams in the playoffs as humanly possible, not 32.

And everybody's like, Bielma wants 32.

No.

I think 24, Tony Petitti, our commissioner, is five steps ahead of everybody else.

And I think the reason I would say 24 is there's never been a time in college football where, in my opinion, the 18th seed might win a national championship.

And it just really gets down to that simple.

I've been a head coach going into my 18th year.

You know, when I was at the University of Wisconsin, my seven years there, somebody gave me an article where I would have been in the playoffs five of those seven years, right?

And I felt we could have played against anybody in the country.

We played TCU.

We played Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

And I think right now, you know, we take a team like we had two years ago.

who we beat South Carolina in a game that everybody thought South Carolina should have been in the playoffs.

And, you know, it was a four-quarter game, good game.

But when you're playing with a couple of weeks to prepare and the way our guys prepare, like we're a smart football team, I believe in the tough, smart, dependable thing.

I think anybody can get anybody on any given Saturday.

And it happens during the course of the year.

But in the playoffs, I think 24 is a sweet spot.
