About this listen
What would actually happen if college football expanded to a 32-team playoff?
In this episode, we build a full 32-team College Football Playoff bracket from scratch and walk through every round — from the first matchups all the way to a national champion.
Along the way, we break down the biggest questions surrounding expansion:
- Would a larger playoff create more chaos… or just more of the same teams winning?
- Is the “Cinderella” run in college sports still possible?
- How have NIL and the transfer portal changed roster building and parity?
- Could a non-power program realistically win a national title?
- And is college football starting to look more like the NFL?
We also discuss the logistics of a 32-team playoff — including scheduling, game volume, and whether the regular season would lose importance.
Finally, we close with a bold prediction about what expanded playoffs would actually lead to.
If you’ve ever wondered what a true large-field college football playoff would look like, this episode breaks it all down.
