In this episode Couz dives deep into the heated debate over the proposed College Football Playoff expansion models: the 4-4-2-2-1-3 vs. the 5+11 format. Couz breaks down both models, exploring their implications for the Big 12 and college football as a whole. Initially skeptical, Couz is starting to see eye-to-eye with FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt, who argues the 5+11 model could hurt the sport and marginalize conferences like the Big 12. Could the 4-4-2-2-1 model, with its guaranteed spots for the Big 12, be the better path forward? Join Couz as he weighs the pros and cons, unpacks the politics behind the CFP expansion, and explains why the 4-4-2-2-1 format might just give the Big 12 the edge it needs.
