Could the NCAA be headed towards even more expanded playoffs? New UCLA Bruins head coach Bob Chesney doesnt sound opposed to more College Football Playoff expansion, speaking about the topic earlier this week at the Big Ten Conference Media Day.The CFP started with just four teams, giving programs virtually no margin for error to make the playoffs. Currently the format sits at 12 teams, giving the best a fair shot at reaching the playoffs, but even now theres still debate about the near misses that are left out of the playoffs.There have been discussions about expanding even farther, potentially to a 16 or 24 team format. The expansions would almost surely help the Bruins, who are still a program on the rise after an awful 2025 season. Chesney has already cracked the 12-team playoff format, reaching the CFP last year with James Madison out of the Sun Belt Conference.The thing I do think is just odd, when you go to the NBA 70% of the teams get into the playoffs, something like that, right? Chesney said, with the NBA now having 20 of 30 teams make the postseason thanks to the Play-In Tournament. Go to baseball, go to basketball, any sport, the NFL, 45-50% of their teams get into the playoffs. 8% of college football get into the playoffs. Thats a little odd to me."4550% of [professional] teams get into the playoffs, 8% of college football [teams] get into the playoffs.
