As you’ve certainly heard by now, it appears the College Football Playoff wants to seriously consider a 12-team field at some point in the near future (some time between 2023 and 2026). Some may think it’s too many teams, while others maybe believe that’s not enough to keep the entire sport involved.
Up front, I’ll say I’m a fan of the idea. And below I’ll dig into why — both as a fan of college football as a whole, and a fan of the Syracuse Orange. I’ll also add some of why it may not work out well, for both Syracuse and college football at large.
