It always feels weird, as a Vanderbilt sports blogger, writing about anything that concerns the College Football Playoff, because Vanderbilt is likely never going to make it.
Well, the odds of that did go up with today’s announcement that the Playoff will be expanding to 12 teams in 2024, something that large numbers of people on Twitter (most of them fans of one of Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, or Clemson) have been arguing against, but their arguments have never been valid unless you just believe that it’s totally fine that roughly 5-10 teams are ever in play for the sport’s pinnacle.
