You don’t have to agree on whether the College Football Playoff should have 4, 8, 12 or 16 teams to agree on this: 24 is too far. Don’t turn Saturdays into seeding games. Protect the regular season. #Stop24 stop24.org

Brett Yormark says if a 24-team CFP kills the Big 12 title game, he might fill that December Saturday with a basketball event. I love college hoops, but we’re really talking about replacing conference championship Saturday with a basketball showcase?

Steve Sarkisian says a 24-team playoff might let coaches play younger guys early, absorb a couple losses, and still make a run. I appreciate him saying the quiet part out loud. We’re literally talking about making September losses less consequential.

Today’s report: The new ESPN deal would cap the CFP at 24 teams through 2031, with further expansion possible in 2032. We haven’t even played a 24-team playoff game, and there’s already a date when the field could grow AGAIN. Where does this end? #Stop24

Can it contract though?

Questions like this are a travesty and shouldn’t have to be asked. #Stop24

The NCAA approved a 10-day January transfer window. The proposed CFP's semifinals would run in the SECOND week of January. That means portal season and title contention overlap. How will teams recruit, and how are players still competing protected? #Stop24

ESPN is airing 32 non-CFP bowl games this season. It OPERATES 17 of them. Now the same company is negotiating rights to a bigger playoff that will compete with bowl season. Which bowls survive, and who speaks for the smaller host cities? #Stop24

In 2024, FOUR Big 12 teams finished 7-2. Arizona State didn't win its trophy in a tiebreaker spreadsheet. It beat Iowa State 45-19 on the field. That's a real consequence of eliminating title games. youtube.com/watch?v=VXNvPhRG… #Stop24

Yahoo Sports reports the 24-team CFP could put early-round games on weeknights to dodge the NFL. Imagine learning on Selection Sunday that your team hosts a playoff game on Tuesday. Good luck to traveling fans, students and marching bands. Who gets a say? #Stop24

STOP 24 began with a simple objection to a 24-team bracket. That concern hasn’t disappeared. But as negotiations advance, we’re also asking for something concrete: transparent rules, meaningful wins and accountability after implementation. Protect Saturdays. #Stop24

An honest question for expansion supporters: what safeguard would convince you that a 24-team playoff still protects the regular season? We’d love a serious answer. More access is a real benefit. Meaningful Saturdays must be one too. #Stop24

Ohio State survived Indiana 19-15. BYU beat Notre Dame 28-24. Those are the games fans plan weekends around. A 24-team CFP needs a transparent answer: how much do elite head-to-head wins matter in seeding and home-field advantage? #Stop24

Saturday was chaos. Sunday should be accountability. If conference championship games are removed, who becomes champion? Best record? Tiebreakers? A committee? Publish the rules before asking fans to embrace a new postseason. #Stop24

The CFP says it will share details of future format and media rights “when appropriate.” With a reported 24-team TV handshake already on the table, fans deserve answers on selection, conference titles and scheduling BEFORE the ink dries. #Stop24

Credit where it’s due: a bigger playoff DOES keep more fan bases in the hunt longer. But after a Saturday like that, here’s the test: can it reward big wins without making big losses feel disposable? We want to see the actual rules. #Stop24

Auburn beat No. 1 Georgia in Athens. Tennessee beat Alabama. Florida won at Texas. Those wins deserve to change more than the order of a bracket. What should a signature October victory actually earn in a 24-team CFP? #Stop24

Five of the AP top seven lost yesterday. That had NEVER happened in the poll’s 90-year history. This is the sport we’re trying to protect. Whatever the playoff becomes, Saturday must still have consequences. #Stop24

ESPN's reported price for a 24-team CFP: $345M more per year. With roughly $140M in conference-title rights costs offset, reports put net new money near $205M. That's the math behind replacing championship Saturday. Show fans the full deal. #Stop24

SIX ranked matchups today. Ohio State–Indiana. Alabama–Tennessee. Notre Dame–BYU. And three more. These Saturdays are already the product. Ask yourself how much a loss should cost before we hand 24 teams a postseason invitation. #Stop24
