“Supposedly this Greg Sankey's #1 book.” Why people should read your post

and follow this. Most paradigm shifters read something like he is doing and get inspired to go in that direction. Clearly ESPN wants to make this happen too, but unless they are playing poker, I think Fox and possibly other networks want to stop it. Thus the 24 team playoff proposal, that will be modeled more like the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and include mainly the P4, and a token or two from the G6. Way more inclusive of other D1 football programs! Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing more posts from you on it. Some may not realize it, but it’s a really big deal.

I think if there is a P1, it should be 48, but Saban saying it repeatedly
Stech 02/21/26 02:22 PM ET
To show you the folly of making a permanent 32 (or 48),
Maroon Baboon 02/21/26 02:55 PM ET
I don’t want the P1, but if they do relegation and promotion it would help,
Stech 02/22/26 08:36 AM ET
What two conferences might look like in a "P1" relegation-promotion model.

Uneven scheduling isn't a complaint. It's a fact.

I would lobby for a 24 team playoff with

Two major omissions in your post.
