Josh Pate On College Football Chaos Coming In 2024 (Late Kick Cut)

College Football Playoff expansion is here. Nick Saban is no longer the head coach at Alabama. The Transfer Portal and NIL have combined to create uncertainty with rosters looking much different year to year. On Late Kick Live Ep 540 Josh Pate offered up some thoughts on reasons why this College Football season could be one of the most chaotic we've ever seen.

People who think fanbases aren't going to complain about not getting in the CFP are delusional. Some 9-3 teams will whine.

You can’t deny this gives teams more of a goal. If you can get to the playoffs you can start building your schools reputation give players a reason to want to come to your school. Brings more competition and competitiveness

Largest conferences in FBS history:
2024 Big Ten: 18
2024 ACC: 17
2024 Big 12: 16
2024 SEC: 16
1996-98 WAC: 16
2020 ACC: 15

The P4 conference title races are going to be more clogged than ever, especially without divisions.

This is going to be a fun year, let's turn the clock forward about 200 hours already!

It’s definitely in the coaches job description to lead. If a coach is able to take the reins of being a leader for voice in college football it will benefit them in recruiting so this will sort itself out.

[GratefulRobin]

All I can hope for is that with a year of no elites, we could get something like 2007

[GoatedAtNFS]

expansion is just the open door for more teams to get blown out. people say it brings more hope for the sport in which it does, but realistically only 8 teams have the resources to win a championship every year. a 2019 LSU is once in a blue moon scenario that probably won’t ever happen again.

there’s a high chance of 5 teams finishing 9-3 and 4 of them being left out and if it’s an SEC team in everyone will point the finger, grab their pitchforks, and call it bias.

[joebrown]

I really don't understand why people are so against a 12-team playoff. I don't think you can fairly judge in a 4 team playoff, because the teams that get in are picked by a committee with a lot of bias and then you have teams that are legitimate contenders getting held out because of votes. Now you're giving 12 out of 130 some odd teams a challenge to prove that they are worthy of being called national champions.

We may look back on this and think how quaint or naive to think the way CFP works in 2024 will be the same in 4 or 5 years. I won't be surprised if things look different for playoffs even in 2 years. It might even be a P2 12 team, for example. So this model might still feel new and then be modified again.

[johnnash]

The auto byes for conference champions is still the dumbest aspect of the playoffs.. oh and guaranteeing a spot for a G5 team

[gnorley]

As in all things, people only see the results and not the struggle to get there.

[prsonaz]

If 2021 was the Renaissance is 2024 The Reformation or the Enlightenment

[dentonyoung]

I would love to see total chaos every year and some major upsets -- like, say, 6 seed Ohio State losing their first round home game to 11 seed Utah, even if we ultimately end up with 3 seed Oregon vs 1 seed Georgia in the final. The beauty of college football is that you never know what's going to happen week to week. Who would have thought, for instance, that last year Auburn and Georgia would be tied late in the fourth quarter?

[ravanalti]

I don’t think it’s out of the tell of possibility that a 9 or 10 seed goes on a run and wins a championship. And then when that happens every playoff spot will be that much more coveted

[brianbruns]

Been watching CFB since 1985.
Never thought more than 4 teams deserved to play for the title in any season.
Plenty of those undeserving teams were good enough to win a title but at some point lost a key game.
You give the elite teams more chances to win a title and they will. Does "Any given Saturday" still apply?
CFB reg season losses certainly won't be as bitter but the wins won't be anywhere near as sweet considering you may have to beat that team again or a third time.

[ragmanintx]

Conference championship games are frankly annoying. Much mucking of things up. No conference should have more teams than you can play in a season.

[codywrestlingvideos]

In the first 10 years of the expanded playoff, do we truly think that a 5-12 seed won’t win any Chips? The more higher seeds succeed in the coming years, the more the regular season will matter.

Call the tour the Crusades instead of 2.0
