Pete Nakos

Yeah, I, I got you.

So in, in case you've been living under a rock, it was announced officially, Pete Nakos reported it for On3, that the College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams per ESPN.

With that report, it also has come out that the format will start next year in 2027, and the 2014 College Football Playoff will likely eliminate conference championship games.

So no more SEC title game, ACC, Big 12, Big 10, all of them gone.

So the possibility that they are pinching pennies, and I don't wanna be that r- rude and, and surly about it, Corey.

But man, if it's, if it's 48 to, to have him leave, like the way Pete Nakos' story had laid out there, I mean, what's, what...

I mean, 45.6 if you make it to the finish line.

Man, what's 47? What's, what's, what's 48 a quarter, man?

Pending final approvals, it'll all be finalized soon.

Sources tell On3's Pete Nakos, Chris Low, and Brett McMurphy the opening two rounds will be home, will be played on home field sites.

Mm-mm-mm.

Which I do like.

It's a bonus episode.

It'll be a quick one, and we are just talking about the College Football Playoff and the news that came down today, this afternoon, from on three, Pete Nakos, Ross Dellinger, uh, Pete Thamel.

I don't know which one of the, the big three there broke it, but it was one of them, and let's get into it.

The College Football Playoff is set to expand to 24 teams.

P- Pete Thamel's reporting it.

Pete Nakos is reporting it.

Everyone's reporting it.

This thing is happening.

Well said.

Um, one of the things that Pete Nakos from On3 reported is that, quote, "Sources have told Chris Low, Brett McMurphy, and me that a 2014 CFP would mean 19 at large bids, auto bid for the top Power Four and Group of Six champions." Pags, the, the two questions that come to me with that verbiage are these.

Number one, I'd like to remind everybody that the verbiage for the Group of Five, now Six, changed this year.

It was previously the top fi- like the, the top Group of Five, uh, conference champion would get in.

And, uh, I think for really the most of the last week it's just been about gathering information, and that we've started to kinda hear, uh, some of what he could be dealing with this week.

And I think, uh, Pete Nakos, uh, from On3 reported that it's a bit of a turf toe injury that, that, uh, Kamario Taylor is dealing with right now.

Uh, so he's, uh, the, the...

How he progressed on Tuesday and Wednesday during practice was gonna be a big storyline, uh, of how, you know, his availability for this weekend was going to turn out.

But s- right now, today, we had breaking news this afternoon.

I don't remember if it was Dellinger, if it was Pete Nakos, or if it was Pete Thamel.

It was somebody in the triumvirate and big three of social media and college football media, um, royalty that broke the news that the college football playoff is most likely nearing an expansion to 2014s.

Now, here's the initial reaction for everyone.
