The College Football Playoff expanding from 12 teams seems inevitable. When the CFP does expand, what's the right amount of teams? Fourteen? What about 16? Are we really serious about 24, or is that far too many? And if the CFP does expand, does that mean conference championship games will be eliminated? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that, take a look at 2027 quarterback recruiting for Ohio State and much more. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
