B1G commish Petitti don’t be Patootie, get 16 Playoff now & 24 later!!!!!!!
Stech • 01/20/26 08:03 AM ET
I don’t think a 16 playoff is a progress.
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/26 12:14 PM ET
It means more money to be distributed.

Or stay at 12 forever** ◄
TerryD • 01/22/26 04:00 PM ET
No byes is progress and #17 would have no gripe.**
Hokester • 01/21/26 10:19 PM ET
Tell that to ND...lol.**
EDGEMAN • 01/23/26 07:55 AM ET
No team, including ND, ranked 17 has any business in a football playoff.
Hokester • 01/23/26 08:43 AM ET
I don’t dislike byes
RandomAsianGuy • 01/21/26 11:38 PM ET
Only one team with a bye has won their first playoff game.
EDGEMAN • 01/23/26 09:14 AM ET
Only two years of sample. We will see. **
RandomAsianGuy • 01/23/26 12:13 PM ET
It's a money grab, so 16 is success.
EDGEMAN • 01/21/26 06:22 AM ET
Just go to a 140-team double elimination tournament that starts on Week 0.
VTHokie2000 • 01/21/26 10:34 AM ET
You&B1G, other commissioners see no byes & 1st round on campus as progress
Stech • 01/20/26 12:57 PM ET
Because commissioners want to make more money and I'm just a fan.
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/26 06:34 PM ET
It a maxim, "all successful tournaments expand until they are ridiculous".
Truthahn • 01/22/26 12:51 PM ET
Hear ya, we have to adapt or quit. This is about TV network stock going up
Stech • 01/20/26 07:24 PM ET
24 would bring back byes**
wwhokie1 • 01/20/26 04:41 PM ET
In that case, increase to 32 teams.**
EDGEMAN • 01/21/26 06:21 AM ET
I like the idea of the G6 giving up their
Big12 guy • 01/21/26 08:47 AM ET
I am not sold on 24 yet, but let's get to 16 now please.**
Stech • 01/20/26 07:10 PM ET
BYU and Vanderbilt deserved a shot as well. **
Big12 guy • 01/20/26 01:24 PM ET
No they didn’t
Tailgate Guru • 01/21/26 09:37 PM ET
That is fine, but I guess Miami then should
Big12 guy • 01/22/26 10:49 AM ET
Agreed, definitely had a case to get in, especially at 16.**
Stech • 01/20/26 01:53 PM ET
ESPN does not want 24 because that means other networks will come in
goldendomer • 01/20/26 10:55 AM ET
Could be what they are trying to do, but they won't block other bids when
Stech • 01/20/26 11:23 AM ET
12 or 24, other networks will bid on the next contract. **
Big12 guy • 01/20/26 10:59 AM ET
Didn't see your post when I responded, but that is correct, numbers are UP,
