It’s a Dear Andy show, so naturally we’ll start with a question about the possibility of the College Football Playoff expanding to 14 or 16 teams. That’s what the commissioners in charge of the CFP talked about on Wednesday, and they have about a month to decide how they want to tweak the CFP format.

How would a 14-team playoff look? What about a 16-team format? Why are commissioners considering this? How would it change automatic bids?

Next up, West Virginia coach Neal Brown joins the show. He discusses ending the 2023 season with a mayo bath, proving wrong the people who predicted the Mountaineers would finish last in the Big 12 and retaining the best players on the roster in the NIL era.

Brown also explains the process of testing out a coach-to-helmet communication system in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Does he think everyone will be using similar systems this season?

Then it’s back to Dear Andy…

Does the 12-team format — which may only exist for 2024 and 2025 — favor the teams that finish No. 3 in the Big Ten or SEC?

Would Oklahoma’s predicted win total be higher if Dillon Gabriel were still the Sooners’ starting quarterback?

Is UCLA in danger of being more like Indiana or Northwestern in the Big Ten?

How should schools handle quarterback recruiting in the NIL era?
