Big 12 Coaches Unanimously Back 24-Team CFP Expansion
Big 12 coaches have unanimously expressed their support for a 24-team College Football Playoff expansion. This decision was made during the conference's spring meetings, where all 16 coaches voted in favor of the proposal. The move contrasts with the SEC's mixed opinions on playoff expansion numbers.
- ▪Every coach in the Big 12 voted for a 24-team playoff during the spring meetings.
- ▪The SEC's coaches have shown uncertainty regarding the best number for playoff expansion.
- ▪Last season, only Texas Tech represented the Big 12 in the 12-team CFP, but the conference believes it could have had five teams in a 24-team format.
2 outlets in our directory ran this story, first to last over 1 hour. All of the coverage we found sits in one bucket: centre. That one-sidedness is itself worth noticing.
- ▪ Big 12 coaches OK preference for 24-team CFP — ESPN — College Football
