Daily Buckeye Blitz: The 24-Team Playoff Would DESTROY College Football

The College Football Playoff may eventually expand to 24 teams — and I think it would be a disaster for the sport. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I break down why college football's greatness has ALWAYS been tied to the urgency of the regular season. A 24-team playoff would remove consequences, dilute rivalry games, reward underachieving teams, and turn college football into NFL-lite. I also react to recent comments and discussions surrounding CFP expansion, conference championship games, TV money, and the future of the sport. Topics include: Why the regular season is the soul of college football Ohio State vs Michigan and what expansion would change Why 24 teams rewards mediocrity The real reason conferences want expansion Why fans overwhelmingly oppose a 24-team playoff How expansion changes the DNA of the sport If you love college football because every Saturday matters, this episode is for you.
