College Football Playoff expansion looks likely. Do fans actually want 24 teams?

The College Football Playoff’s potential expansion to a 24-team format is picking up steam, despite lingering skepticism from fans. A recent survey from *The Athletic* revealed that 70% of college football supporters oppose the idea, with only 30% in favor, raising questions about whether a larger postseason would truly enhance the sport.

The SEC, which had previously resisted expansion, now appears open to the proposal, signaling a possible breakthrough in negotiations. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey indicated the league is willing to reconsider, suggesting a decision could come soon.

Meanwhile, the Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 have long advocated for a 24-team playoff, arguing that more teams deserve a chance at a national title. Concerns about scheduling and player workloads remain, but the Big Ten has proposed requiring Power Five schools to schedule a nonconference opponent against another Power Five team, potentially addressing some of the SEC’s reservations.

The shift in stance from the SEC could accelerate talks, as conference leaders weigh the benefits of a more inclusive postseason against the challenges of implementation.
