LSU coach provides insight into new format, potential impact

With the expansion of the College Football Playoff from four teams to 12, many are wondering how it will impact the regular season and the overall landscape of the sport. LSU coach Brian Kelly recently provided some insight into what he believes will be different about the season with the expanded playoff format.

Kelly believes that the expanded playoff will make the regular season more important than ever before. With more teams having a chance to make the playoff, every game will have more meaning and teams will be less likely to overlook their opponents.

“I think the expanded playoff is going to make the regular season more important,” Kelly said. “Every game is going to matter, and teams are going to have to be more focused on winning each week. There’s not going to be any room for error.”

More Teams Will Be In Contention

The expanded playoff will also give more teams a chance to compete for a national championship. In the past, only a handful of teams had a realistic shot at making the playoff. Now, with 12 teams making the field, more teams will have a chance to compete for the title.

“The expanded playoff is going to give more teams a chance to compete for a national championship,” Kelly said. “It’s going to be exciting to see new teams make the playoff and have a chance to win it all.”

Parity

The expanded playoff could also lead to more parity in college football as teams will be less likely to overlook their opponents. With so many teams having a chance to make the playoff, teams will have to be more focused on winning each week. This could lead to more competitive games and a more level playing field.

“I think the expanded playoff is going to lead to more parity in college football,” Kelly said. “Teams are going to have to be more focused on winning each game, and there’s not going to be any room for error.”

Conclusion

The expanded College Football Playoff is sure to have a major impact on the regular season and the overall landscape of the sport. More teams will be in contention for a national championship, and parity could increase throughout the FBS. It will be interesting to see how the new format plays out, and Brian Kelly's insights provide a valuable perspective on what to expect.
