Show notes

Alex Donno breaks down the growing debate in college football around a potential expansion of the College Football Playoff to 24 teams, along with the possibility of eliminating conference championship games altogether. Donno explains why he believes a larger playoff could ultimately diminish the importance of the regular season, even as many coaches reportedly support expansion for added access and revenue. The conversation dives into the conference power dynamics behind the proposal, with the Big Ten pushing heavily for expansion, the SEC showing more hesitation, and the ACC and Big 12 having less influence in the decision-making process. Donno also explores what last season’s playoff picture would have looked like under a 24-team format and argues that non-Power Four conferences may eventually need their own separate playoff, saying it’s difficult to see Group of Six teams consistently competing with Power Four programs.
