Kirk Herbstreit Sounds Off on New 24-Team College Football Playoff Model

The College Football Playoff is considering a model expansion from 12 to 24 teams, a move Kirk Herbstreit has reacted to bluntly. This potential shift could significantly benefit USC and UCLA, neither of which has appeared in the playoff since 2014. Despite this, the Trojans finished six of the last 12 seasons in the Associated Press top 25, while UCLA also maintained top rankings, positioning both Los Angeles programs for future opportunities under the expanded format.
