As most of the discourse this week has revolved around the expansion of the 12-team College Football Playoff, Andy figured out what the last two season's playoff field would have looked like with a 24 team field. Since the conference championships would likely be eliminated in this format, Andy used the penultimate rankings from both 2024 and 2025. Sent in the show's group message, Producer River responded with, "Is it crazy to think this is nonsensical??" Watch here as Andy & Ari discuss this in great detail and what's to come next out of college football. Do you think the College Football Playoff's format is doomed to expand to 24? Let us know your thoughts on the expanded format.
