2026-27 NCAA College Football

[rvvaquero]

Purdue Boilermakers got a Big Ten win, the first since beating Indiana in 2023, so I'm in a good mood.

I saw Purdue play Wake Forest to double overtime. Purdue has a running back named Ijeboi who is impressive, relentless.

Better to be optimistic about your team than negative, even if it is UK.

Missed seeing who they hired as new head coach. Who? Where from? Good luck!

Will Stein
He was at Oregon as an assistant. He is originally from Kentucky.

Next week should be interesting ...
Neither Ohio State or Indiana are nearly as good as last year.

Ohio State vs Indiana will get the Stupid FOX Noon game treatment ... which may be ok, but when it was scheduled many expected it to be the Top game of the year for the Big Ten ... it probably STILL is the Top game for them.

Buckeyes Defense isn't nearly as good as it has been in previous years, that happens when you end up with 4 Top 11 picks in the NFL Draft.

They are playing a lot of YOUNG guys, so could get much better as the Season progresses or Next year.

I thought I posted it as I usually have nothing to do but sit at my desk in the morning scrolling the interwebs , but my mom passed away the day before so my mind was mush.

24 team playoff seems to be real close.

Are we really that far from a 64-team tournament?

The benefit of the 24 team playoff:

• All the cartel teams that cartels want in playoff are in playoff
  • Independent of record too! Bonus.
• MONEY!!!!! for the cartels.
• I'm out of ideas.

Cons

• Regular season really doesn't matter now other than the rivalry games
  • Top cartel teams can lose three games and still make the playoff
• Going to start resting players?
  • The playoff is going to be *checks notes* several games!
  • Resting players could make games dumb.
  • Maybe even restrict NIL players from games played.
• How much are streaming sub costs going up a month to pay for this?!

College Football Playoff nears agreement on 24-team expansion that could end title games

The College Football Playoff field is about to get much more crowded as the conferences near a deal to double the size of the field to 24 teams starting next year

One of the pro's I see is in a year with so many undefeated teams they have a good chance of an opening. Few years back you had lower divisions that didnt get a shot. I love collage football and I have no problem with that addition.

We are in what week 5 now? Been two real good ranked games to watch.....Other than that top 25 teams are playing nothing.

This will be a SAD DAY when this passes ....

They complained the last year that we had a bunch of Blow Outs in the Playoffs ... heres an idea, lets Double the amount of teams and hope for Closer games ... ya right.

This never should have went past 8 teams, 10 at the most.

Now, I have heard that play in games are being talked about, such as #13 plays #24 and so forth, to cut the field down (why cut it down, just don't expand it.)
I'm not sure exactly how thats going to work out or if it was just someone talking.

They were also talking about starting the Season earlier ...

I really don't like the National Championship game being the end of January ... if the Semi Finals are over New Years, thats fine with the Championship game the next week.

There are 68 Power 4 teams, so eventually they will get there I wouldn't imagine ...

Far from it but you know that....You dont like the larger playoff.....Its ok.....

Oh, I Hate the idea ...

It would be different if it was a game that you could play 2 or games each week, but when you only play 1 game a week, the larger playoff is Not a good thing ...

The season has how many games now, is it 14 ... then you want to play another 5 (with more to come) against Top 12 (eventually 24 teams) ... remember, the 5 games in the playoffs will be the hardest games all year and back to back.

For example, IF Ohio State should win it all this year ... they play 5 teams in the Top 25, plus they would play 5 more to win it all, depending on how the ranking shake out and if Bye weeks are given.

Thats 10 Ranked teams ... in one year ...
I don't see that happening very often ...
Edit, Bama plays 4, Georgia plays 3, But Ole Miss plays 5 (didn't expect to see that)

That said, I don't see the Buckeyes winning it all this year.
