Casey Woods advocates for Group of Six teams in CFP expansion
Summary

Missouri State head coach Casey Woods expressed concerns about the upcoming expansion of the College Football Playoff (CFP) to 24 teams in 2027. He emphasized the need for increased representation of Group of Six teams, cautioning that the format should not dilute the integrity of the playoff by admitting teams with poor records. Woods highlighted the importance of ensuring that the expansion benefits all of college football rather than just emphasizing revenue generation from television deals. He pointed out previous Group of Six participants, including Cincinnati, Boise State, Tulane, and James Madison, all of whom have struggled in the postseason without a win.
