There’s nothing to buy. It’s a fact.
Next year the playoffs expand to 24. Every program will feel as though they should compete for a spot. But Iowa and Kf need to embrace this as a stated objective. An expectation. KF doesn’t measure success in terms of CFP.

Beth will ensure this changes.

Well, eventually we'll have a 64-team playoff, cuz, you know, TV money and gambling money,haha, but the question is: will KF retire before that?

We've finished the season ranked in the CFP on CFP selection day exactly 5 times since 2016.

Our highest ranking on CFP selection day in that time was #15.

Why wouldn't he think we'd have made the 12-team playoffs in that time.

Lol.
