Earlier today, it was announced that ESPN had officially reached a deal with the College Football Playoff (CFP) to expand the playoff field to 24 teams beginning in 2027. The news set social media on fire as many have been against the idea of an expansion saying it would dilute the significance of the regular season, diminish the importance of conference championships and ultimately take away from what makes college football so special.
For LSU, the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff expansion could be a significant opportunity. Playing in the highly competitive SEC, the Tigers regularly face one of the toughest schedules in college football. Just last week, LSU found itself ranked No. 14 despite having the same record as several teams ranked inside the top 12, highlighting just how difficult it can be to separate contenders in a crowded playoff race. An expanded playoff field would give LSU more room for error, allowing the Tigers to remain in the national championship conversation even with multiple losses during the regular season.
