assuming this monstrosity goes into effect. What’s the timeframe? Obviously not this season but maybe 2027? 28? I am hoping espn and the sec are powerful enough to block it.

I think it's F*tarded and greedy AF........ unless they are getting rid of all Conference championship games andddd 1-2 regular season games.. the brutal run teams would have to make is malpractice for a game like football.... IMO
even after our glorious run, when you think of it, it was brutal as ****.... A&M / OSU / Ole Miss / then Championship.... after a full season??? even that was insane to me.

Well we’d need to move start of season across the board to week 0. Remove conference champ games and make that week Play-In week of teams 9-24. Then give a bye. Then start the remaining 16team playoff. The play in game then 4 weeks of playoff. That should encompass 6 total weeks start to finish (with a bye). We have 12 games regular season plus a Bye. So total that is 19 total weeks. 20 weeks if we want to add another bye or spread out the playoff a tiny bit. If we begin week of Sat 8/29 which is current week 0. 20 weeks would end Sat 1/16/27… current national title game is scheduled 1/19… so we can still fit it all in, and even add in byes for most teams… and again that’s if we spread it to 20 weeks even with a 24 team playoff….
Not saying I like that. I’d far more prefer a 20 team max or 16 team playoff… or just stick with the 12 we have and pick the teams more logically…. But that’s not happening.

At this point, we need to add 1987 Ted Dibiase to our list of supporters and get him to buy off our first round opponent.

ESPN currently owns the media rights to the CFP. Expansion beyond 16 teams triggers a clause to renegotiate those media rights.
The B1G is backed by FOX who obviously has an interest in bidding on the rights to CFP games should expansion occur.
The Big XII and ACC need access. They are weaker leagues and it’s going to be really hard to get 2 bids consistently in a 12 team format.

Why is it a monstrosity?
The NFL has 32 teams and 14 make the 4-round playoffs. That means 43.75% of the teams make the playoffs.
There are 138 Division I-A (FBS) teams and 12 make the 4-round playoffs . With the same playoff participation percentage as the NFL, 60 college football teams would make the playoffs.
Same sport.
"Monstrosity"? Really? How about we stop overreacting.
A 16 team CFP field would be an 11.6% participation rate.
A 24 team CFP field would be a 17.4% participation rate. It would be a 5-round playoff, but without the conference championship games.
MLB - 12 teams out of 30 make the playoffs, for a 40% participation rate.
NBA - 20 teams out of 30 make the playoffs (including play-in tournament), for a 66.7% participation rate.
NHL - 16 teams out of 32 make the playoffs, for a 50% participation rate.
MLS - 18 teams out of 30 make the playoffs, for a 60% participation rate.
Let's try to keep things in perspective, here.
