Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has rolled out a brand new College Football Playoff format that, should it be adopted, would be a massive boon for the Nebraska football team. The problem is that while the Huskers would certainly benefit, the college football world would suffer to a degree that would push the regular season even further towards being totally irrelevant.
According to Pete Thamel, the Big Ten is now floating a new format that would introduce either 24 or 28 playoff teams, with the Big Ten and the SEC getting seven automatic bids each.
