Show notes

The guys react to major changes potentially coming to college sports as March Madness expands to 76 teams and the College Football Playoff reportedly moves closer to a 24-team format. They discuss how much the expanded playoff system would have changed last season’s college football landscape and whether conference championship games still carry real importance in today’s era of postseason expansion. The conversation also turns to the Miami Hurricanes never winning an ACC championship and what that says about the program’s modern history. The crew debates whether expanding the postseason ultimately hurts the value of the regular season in both football and basketball, while also acknowledging that traditional non-playoff bowl games are becoming increasingly irrelevant as more players choose to opt out.
