CFB Playoff Expansion

I appreciate you calling that out. I didn't realize there were two discussions going on here: 2026-2030 and then 2030 on.

I honestly don't care that much about 2026-2030, I'm more interested in where things are going long term.

Not sure what 2026-2030 will be, probably a lot of changes.

2030 or so and beyond, I still see an AFC-NFC Superbowl situation happening with the B1G/SEC and nobody else gets invited. Once the ACC breaks up I think the B1G/SEC will set up a championship game between them and have their own playoffs for their college superbowl participant. That will make their television partners very happy who will then pay the B1G/SEC a whole bunch. I think that is where things have been headed for a long time. About 44 teams in the B1G and SEC and they basically make their own division.

Can Michigan make the playoffs without cheating?

Can Michigan make the playoffs without cheating?

Serious question


I heard a stat earlier today that made me lose faith in Michigan doing much of anything significant this year

This century, only 4 true freshmen quarterbacks have led their teams to 10 or more wins as the starter in a single season

- Trevor Lawrence (Clemson)
- Jake Fromm (UGA)
- Jalen Hurts (Alabama)
- Jeff Godfrey (UCF)

Just feels like the evidence says unless you have a mega roster (which Michigan doesn’t despite having some really really good players), 10+ wins (especially in today’s Big Ten) with a Freshman QB doesn’t feel likely. Which means, to me, they aren’t making the Playoff.

I cannot believe Klatt picked UM for the playoff.
