Reports: Everyone Going to Bitch Until There’s a 64-Team College Football Playoff
According to numerous sources, everyone is just going to whine and bitch and moan until the College Football Playoff is expanded to a 64-team tournament.
“We couldn’t even get through one year with the four-team tournament everyone clamored for without bitching,” said an NCAA source. “People are saying: ‘We need to expand to an eight-team playoff to make sure no deserving teams are excluded. Riiiiiight. That won’t make them happy. Then they’ll bitch the 9th-ranked team is getting screwed, then the 17th-ranked team, then the 33rd-ranked team, and so on and so on. People are the worst.”
Mississippi State, Oregon, Florida State and TCU lead the latest College Football Playoff rankings, with fans of Alabama, Arizona State, Baylor and Ohio State claiming they deserve to be in the four-team field.
SEC commissioner Mike Slive said he doesn’t support a large playoff, but said the current system isn’t fair.
“The fact that there is currently only one SEC team in the four-team field is laughable,” said he said. “If an expanded playoff would allow every deserving SEC team to get into the playoff — and all SEC teams are deserving, in my opinion — I’d be all for it. Let’s do it.”
NCAA officials have reportedly already contacted Dayton about hosting NCAA Football Tournament play-in games in the city in mid-December 2017.
“Sixty-eight teams is the only way to do it,” said Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany. “That would get us four or maybe even five teams in the field. That would be great. Getting a play-in game in Dayton against someone like Wyoming would be huge for a program like Michigan.”
