CFP moving to 24 teams

“Since expanding to 12, the only team benefitting from expansion was Ohio State.”

Easily falsifiable. Miami benefitted; as did: Ole Miss + Alabama getting revenge for regular season Ls, JMU + Tulane, Arizona State, Boise State, ND who was ranked 7th in the playoffs in ‘24, SMU, and IU got better transfers for ‘25 by going to the playoffs in ‘24.

BTW this ALREADY HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO…….JOG YOUR MEMORIES….THEY RANKED A 9-3 ALABAMA OVER A 10-2 MIAMI FOR THE LAST PLAYOFFS SPOT …… NO ONE FELT BAD FOR MIAMI OR WERE EVEN MAD @ ABOUT IT….

They would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for Clemson beating SMU in the ACC-CCG. So since it literally already happened, that shows the potential for it to keep happening, in various ways, if they were to stick at twelve.

Then everybody, including dumb ND fans so most of them, let themselves get caught up in a ND-Miami debate meanwhile Alabama jumped ND for barely beating an Auburn team—a move the committee explicitly made to avoid Miami jumping Alabama if Alabama got crushed by UGA like they did. ….. because a 10-3 Alabama WITH A LOSS TO FSU on the road — who miami beat on the road — was inexplicable if the two teams were next to each other. They sacrificed ND at the bubble altar.

Two explicitly corrupt moves to benefit Alabama, after they did the same thing the year before to benefit Alabama instead of FSU LOL. So it can happen w/ 4 or w/ 12 and w/ the BCS it’s just lunacy bordering on football astrology

Just some more info on how previous years have played out, at least with AP poll

If they put a few 10-2 or 11-1 G6 teams in the 20s instead of 8-4 P4 teams, there will be little issue and everyone will come to enjoy it is my stance. The floor will end up being 3 losses 99% of the time.


9-3 (7-1) Clemson winning in the conference championship game already got themselves in the playoffs. Three to nine 9-3 teams every year doesn’t sound so bad to me if it means that we’re done inflating records w/ FCS opponents.

Could not help but notice that both this report as well as Thamel yesterday did not say “exclusively,” broadcast. Reports on back to back days w/o details is super sus

Especially considering that they seem much further away than 95% done like was said yesterday; and the exclusive negotiating window ended last Friday.

Looked it up out of curiosity. Only one 8-4 P4 team was ranked in the top 24 in the past two years heading into the playoff.

2025 Iowa was 8-4 ranked 23rd.

& they could’ve been bumped out for 11-2 North Texas or 9-2 (soon to be 10-2) Navy if that spot actually had real stakes.
