Expansion to the College Football Playoff is a big topic of conversation around the sport today.
With a 14-team bracket seemingly on the horizon, a 16-team bracket has been brought up, which has outraged fans.
Analysts Warn: Expanding to 16 Teams Could Create Chaos for the College Football Playoff
Locked On College Football analysts Spencer McLaughlin and Kenton Gibbs recently chatted about the chaos that could come with a larger playoff format.
There are clearly still plenty of issues that will have to be worked out as the College Football Playoff continues on. But if the expansion continues with more teams, that could only make more room for chaos.
This makes something like a 16-team College Football Playoff a little more problematic.
Is a Larger College Football Playoff Format Better?
If you are a fan who wants more football, an expanded College Football Playoff could be a great thing. The games will have more meaning, and the drama at the end of the year could be very evident. Plus, if you are a fan of a team that is on the outskirts of the bracket, you will want a bigger bracket so that your school has a chance to make it.
But if you understand the scope of the College Football Playoff and you understand what makes it special, a larger bracket could be worse for the sport. It could be difficult to judge which teams are better than others. It could also be difficult to tell which teams deserve home-field advantage.
All eyes will be on the decision-makers in the coming years as they continue to analyze whether or not it makes sense for the sport.
