Evaluating pros, cons of 12-team College Football Playoff

There are pros and cons of the new 12-team College Football Playoff format, according to On3 hosts Andy Staples and JD PicKell.

The two debated if the committee got it right on Andy Staples On3 There is a lot to like about this new era of college football.

And it started with getting more teams involved, albeit rapidly in 2024.

“Now we got to talk about the national championship because is there a subject that’s been more fraught in college football than how to decide the national champion and for years, as you mentioned earlier, like people would play in bowl games, sometimes the bowl and vice would go out and late October, early November, and they would have to figure out a national champion based on games involving disparate teams,” Staples said.

“Like number one might play number six, and number two might play number seven, and you had to judge what that was going to be.”

PicKell was really excited about the potential matchups in this playoff, but also weighed the pros and cons of the playoff.

“I think the favorite part of this is probably everybody’s favorite, which is that we’re gonna see some really awesome matchups,” PicKell said. “Also we’re gonna see that first round on campus. That’s gonna be electric. Like if there’s a home game in Clemson, South Carolina or Baton Rouge, Louisiana like those home game home playoff games are gonna be nothing short of absolutely incredible. That’s gonna be awesome seeing those matchups and seeing more of those matchups.”
