BLOCKED: The G6 and Sun Belt playoff hopes shrink as coaches push 24-team plan
Description
College football faces a seismic shift as coaches push for a 24-team playoff format, sidelining Group of Six schools and shaking up Power 4 dynamics.
Is widening the field really a win for underdogs, or does it tighten the grip of powerhouse conferences?
Dave Schultz unpacks the American Football Coaches Association’s proposal, the fight over conference championship games, and what it means for teams like the Sun Belt’s Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns and JMU.
Meanwhile, Arkansas State’s Ckyler Tangler stuns with a no-hitter against Little Rock, and Troy stages a late rally to topple Alabama.
Schultz covers midweek baseball action, dives into RPI drama as teams tactically manage their schedules, and scrutinizes how shifting playoff talks might upend college athletics as we know it.
Will expanded playoffs kill the underdog’s dream, or is this just the beginning of college football’s next era?
