  • Now we saw how the process works, it's clear this model isn't the right one. And not for the reasons you might think.

The article by Mike Casagrande discusses the issues with the current College Football Playoff (CFP) system and proposes solutions to fix it. He highlights the dissatisfaction with the selection process, particularly the exclusion of teams like Florida State, which went undefeated but was left out due to the injury of their quarterback. Casagrande suggests expanding the playoff to 12 teams, which would allow for more inclusivity and reduce the controversy over selections. He argues that this expansion would not only give more teams a chance but also increase the excitement and competitiveness of college football. Additionally, he touches on the need for clearer criteria for selection, possibly incorporating more objective measures like strength of schedule and head-to-head results. The article also mentions the financial implications, noting that an expanded playoff could generate more revenue, benefiting the sport's stakeholders.
