Deion Sanders advocates for 24-team College Football Playoff expansion

Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, expressed support for expanding the College Football Playoff (CFP) to 24 teams. He believes this change would benefit more teams, particularly from the Big 12, by allowing greater postseason access. The CFP format recently expanded to 12 teams in 2024, but discussions continue among conference commissioners about the future structure. Sanders, referencing last year's rankings, highlighted that Colorado would have qualified for the playoffs under a 24-team model. Current debates involve revenue implications and the potential elimination of conference championship games to accommodate more playoff teams.
