Dan Patrick: CFP likely going to 14 in 2026

[Stan Raymond]

The best case scenario would be them just taking to the top 12/14 overall teams regardless of conference championships, etc., but if the idea is that we have to “protect” conf championship games, the approach described above is the most fair.

Why would that be "best case scenario". Does this year's playoff get more interesting if we dropped Boise State, Arizona State and Clemson and add Alabama, South Carolina and Ole Miss? More SEC teams doesn't make it more interesting to me, just more rematches and less value to the regular season.

If the idea is that the best teams should get the opportunity to play each other and determine a champion, then we should pick the best teams. Thats just one man’s opinion.

I hate that they play the NC game on Monday nights. They need to work something out with the NFL to get the game on a Saturday night.

I almost say screw the NFL and go against them. The NFL and CFB are already going against each other on Thursday nights and then the NFL started to play games on Saturday near the end of the CFB season. I personally don't give a shit about the NFL during the season and would rather watch CFB anyway over a boring NFL game.

I was initially of the opinion that it was a bad thing to give undeserving teams a shot at the title. “FOR THE SANCTITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE GAME!” Now in where @Jim14510 is. More good college football the better. Even if the game turns into a stinker, the conversation around those games filling the week up is great. Putting Bucknel in because they win the Patriot doesn’t hurt college basketball. They just always lose in the first round.

12, 14, 16 teams… actually playing meaningful football instead of crowning the SEC off of hypothetical strength is best for the sport.

Plus most bowl games are meaningless anyways. People want to bitch about a blowout in the playoff, but would you rather watch a bowl game which doesn’t mean anything?

As a volleyball school we need further expansion to get a better chance to get in.

It needs to go back to Saturday night. 10000%

I remember vividly watching all of Nebraska's NC games. None were on a Monday in a regular work week. CFB has no history of playing on Mondays. I've never liked it.
