In this week’s ATVS reacts poll, we asked readers: How do you feel about the new CFP 24-team format?
A whopping 68% of voters said they hate it, which comes as no surprise considering the heated reactions that have flooded social media since the announcement was made public.
The overwhelming response reflects the growing frustration among college football fans, many of whom believe expanding the playoff field to 24 teams could diminish the significance of the regular season and take away from what
makes college football so special. While some see the expansion as an opportunity for more programs to compete for a national championship, it’s clear that a large portion of our readers aren’t sold on the idea.
For LSU, a 24-team playoff format could provide the Tigers with a greater opportunity to compete for a national championship, even with multiple losses during the regular season. Playing in the highly competitive SEC, LSU could benefit from an expanded field that gives more teams a chance to make a postseason run.
However, the question remains whether a larger playoff field would lessen the impact of key regular-season matchups and diminish the importance of every win and loss in the NCAA.
