The world argued that increasing the field the World Cup would devalue the quality/ or significance of the games/ matches. Turns out that was a load of crappppp. It was the best world cup of all time and its not just because of the location. There were amazing games with upsets of those lower seeds. In the end I don't care between 16 or 24 teams now. I do think the conference championship games cause more negative than positive. The money will come, even with the elimination of conference championship games and the move to 24 teams. I'm will to bet that if we went to 24 teams we will look back and say it is still just as great of a product. If I'm wrong I will come bsck and own it. But enough, is enough. Just go to 24 and lets go.

Don’t forget that the NFL likes expanding their broadcast windows in December. And crushes CFB in ratings. Even in the 12 team format those first round games get beat by NFL games in the same weekend. ESPN will likely need to sublet some of those early round games to manage inventory. 
 

The World Cup didn’t need to worry about an alternate version of their sport.

FCS does it with it 24, but they have 3 extra conferences. I like 16, with the higher seed hosting through QFs. Adds something to the regular season to be able to host 2 home playoff games.

The goal is to get in the CFP annually and hope to be playing ones best football. 24 increases the chance of making the CFP.

What is the point of having conferences if there is no champion?  

Good question.  My answer - not much good.

horns would have made the 24 team playoff in 2022 in sarks second year . 8-4

Undeserved.   A not so much talked about issue the more you expand.  It increases the odds that teams make late season personnel decisions that impact play and potential outcomes in those late season games.  And still defaults to too many teams, too few games and too many unbalanced schedules.  The bs seedings matter too.

About the only reason to do 24 is more money.  But as one who attends that only costs me more so that’s not exactly benefit.

Just dont call it a playoff. Call it a tournament or play in and the last 4-8 teams standing are the playoff teams. Ridiculous to say you had a good season because you made the playoffs at 8-4

Let the regular season to determine the champion. The CCG is just a money grab.

Good point. Either way, if the majority vote to expand to whatever number. I wish they would just get to it. Lol. Then we can talk about the next B.S.thing. lol

Sankey basically gave in to 24 . Big 10 wasn't gonna agree to 16. Just get ready it's a done deal. ESPN still gets the first shot to keep it. Before it is opened up to bids. Pretty sure ESPN is ready to pay whatever to keep it. But again things change on a dime.
