SBJ, via The Athletic: a 24-team playoff could pull teams out of bowls. Delta builds bowls into the format instead: 32 bowls take the teams ranked 17 to 80, set by one ranking, so the 16-team playoff and the bowls never compete for the same teams.
The College Football Playoff’s potential expansion from 12 to 24 teams could significantly impact bowl games 🏈
All five teams from last year’s Citrus and Pop-Tarts bowls would have qualified for a 24-team playoff, potentially leaving those bowls with lower-ranked matchups.

A lot of people living in the past with the announcement of the 24 CFP. Delta has it's own rewind, from 2021 to 2025. Why just those years?? The initial tier rankings are based on 2000-2020 stats. Those tier rankings reset every 5 years based on how a team did during that time. This is year 6 under Delta.

Zero midseason firings so far, versus nine a year ago (Vannini). Delta’s Recruiting & Staff category looks at what a program has built over years. It sets scheduling tiers and revenue share, never the playoff field. That is earned on the field.
✍️ A year ago at this point, nine teams had fired their coach. This year, it's zero.
After a decade of normalizing midseason firings, we may be moving back to normal coaching carousel timeline.

Per Yahoo (Dellenger), the 24-team deal is agreed but not yet signed.
24 of 138 FBS teams is about 1 in 6.
Delta: 16 teams, 1 ranking, 0 auto-bids, no committee.
Big enough to be fair, small enough that a loss still matters.🧵
