Description
Is college football about to destroy the very thing that makes it special?
The College Football Playoff could expand to 24 teams in 2027, and I've got some serious problems with it. More playoff games, fewer consequences for regular-season losses, and potentially no conference championship games? We're breaking down why the Big Ten is pushing expansion, how it benefits the biggest programs, and whether college football is sacrificing its identity for television money.
Then we're previewing a massive weekend of college football!
Ohio State vs. Indiana: Can Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith break down one of the country's toughest defenses, or will Indiana's remarkable run continue?
Notre Dame vs. BYU: CJ Carr and the Fighting Irish head into Provo for a major test against Bear Bachmeier and the Cougars.
Plus, Alabama–Tennessee, Wisconsin–UCLA, Mississippi State–LSU, and Oklahoma State–Houston.
Finally, we're debuting BIG 12 WATCH! Eight teams with one loss or fewer, five unbeaten in conference play, and a championship race that could get absolutely ridiculous. Who's actually safe, and who's about to get exposed?
