Pete Golding supports 24-team CFP expansion for college football

Ole Miss coach Pete Golding expressed strong support for the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff expansion, which is expected to take effect in 2027. He indicated that this change would lead to an elimination of Power 4 conference championship games and allow for an earlier start to the regular season. Golding believes that expanding the playoff is vital given SEC teams are now playing a ninth conference game. As of now, No. 7 Ole Miss, with a record of 5-1 and 3-1 in the SEC, looks poised to make the 12-team playoff, with their next game scheduled against No. 18 Texas on Oct. 24. Golding anticipates that teams will embrace tougher early season matchups to enhance competitiveness.
