The episode discusses the potential structure and implications of a 24-Team College Football Playoff.

In this episode of Hit The Books, Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down what a 24-Team College Football Playoff could look like and whether expanding the CFP would completely change college football as we know it. The guys discuss how a 24-Team Playoff would impact the regular season, conference championships, rivalry week, strength of schedule, automatic bids, at-large teams, and the overall structure of the College Football Playoff. They also debate whether college football can realistically support a larger playoff format without damaging what already makes the sport unique.
