## Resource

The proposed 24-team College Football Playoff, Notre Dame’s surprising support for expansion, and growing ACC frustration with the Irish could dramatically reshape the future of college football and the importance of the regular season. Tyler Wojciak breaks down why he believes a 24-team playoff would devalue the sport, explains why Pete Bevacqua’s sudden shift from supporting 16 teams to backing 24 is so disappointing, and reacts to anonymous ACC complaints about Notre Dame’s “special treatment” while highlighting the Irish’s dominance over the conference both on the field and in television value.
