Let's just say the season ends January 12th.

Alabama's coming out of the SEC and I could tell you 2023 our postseason.

Isas bad as there is and we have got to figure out a system that opens up opportunities 98 or 99% of the participants realized they don't have a chance before the season starts that we've got to look at this 2020 year and realize we have to tweak the system really interesting.

No one needs me to tell you who is about a significant of voices.

So Paul and Heather and Trevor are back with us here.

When you hear Kirk Herbstreit say that, what is the first reaction you have?

Well, he's right, and the playoffs needs to be expanded because otherwise it's going to be primarily the same for every year, and it's bigger than just that.

It zits attracting the country at a time when the competition is the fiercest greeny the weekend of the C F P Championship game.

It's also the same weekend is the NFL wild card.

Much respect for her Be couldn't disagree.

If you expand the playoff just to get more people in the same four are gonna be in the final four anyhow.

When Dubow took over on Lee won one championship in their first six years.

You wanna be better, do what Dubow did at Clemson.

Now I would expand it to eight teams, but it's not because I think there needs to be more access.

It's to increase the value of conference championships, which right now under this system or tiebreakers and one more data point, I think you should have five power five champions in regardless of record on, then three at large to clean up the rest.

But I think that if the rest of the field wants to change, the guys at the top become the guy at the top.

Alright, so Heather, then let me come to you no one covers the College football playoff committee as closely as you do and have since its inception.

What, if any sense do you get that there is, Ah, feeling that any change of any kind is necessary?

I think ultimately expansion is inevitable.

But everyone has to remember that in order to G o from 2 to 4, it took 2 to 3 years not just to make the decision, but to implement the logistics.

Bob Bowlsby, the Big 12 commissioner, has told me repeatedly, there were a lot of compromises to get to this point.

If it ever changes, there would have to be a lot of compromises again before the Pac 12 started playing Larry Scott there, commissioner, I thought he got a small victory and that he got the commissioners to talk about expanding it for this season because of the pandemic.

There was support for that, but there was not enough support for it to do it as an experimental way for this season.

I'm told from my sources there was even some power five support, but it probably would have had to have been unanimous in this particular season and situation.

But everyone has to remember how difficult it is because of Rose Bowl Orange Bowl Sugar Bowl contracts to change Paul thumbs up, thumbs down on an 18 playoff.

I'm all for it, but Heather's 100% correct.

The people that run college football are slow to change.

They don't like to hear these conversations, and the contract has a couple more years, and I think it will change before the end of the contract, which, of course, is with ESPN.

But it's not changing, and it's not changing immediately.

Whether Herbie or anyone else has has what has said what they will say, but the conference champions need to be in.

I remember Trevor years ago on Mike and Mike.

You told me these decisions are made by a bunch of people in a room eating shrimp and croissants, and I still laugh when I think about the way you phrased it.
