How many teams should be in the College Football Playoff: 12, 16, 24… or even 40?
SEC football coaches Kalen DeBoer, Alex Golesh and Mike Elko were all asked about the ideal size of the CFP, and their answers revealed a lot about the expectations surrounding Alabama, Auburn and Texas A&M football.
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer gave the perfect Crimson Tide answer: win every game and never leave your playoff fate in the hands of a committee. Auburn head coach Alex Golesh took a measured approach, saying his focus is on building the Tigers into a program that belongs in the playoff conversation. Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko joked that he wants a 40-team playoff so he never gets fired, before making the serious point that reaching the postseason is supposed to be difficult.
The discussion also examines whether College Football Playoff expansion actually helps coaches at elite programs. Would simply making a 24-team CFP ever be enough at Alabama, Ohio State or USC? Or would those programs still be judged by seeding, semifinal appearances and national championships?
