Should Rebel fans side with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and ESPN—pushing for a 12 or 16-team playoff—or align with Big Ten’s Tony Petitti and Fox, who champion a 24-team format?

Key talking points include how a 24-team College Football Playoff opens more doors for Ole Miss, boosting postseason access and giving the Rebels a chance to host playoff games in Oxford. Willis explores why SEC blue bloods like Alabama and Georgia could actually be hurt by expansion, while programs like Ole Miss stand to gain.
