College football legend Brian Bosworth says he supports the controversial 24-team expanded playoff
College football legend Brian Bosworth is a fan of the controversially expanded playoff format.
- "It just gets bigger and better, and it deserves to be bigger and better because there's so many college programs that deserve the opportunity to show who they are," Bosworth told OutKick in a recent interview.
- Everybody's doing the same thing on the same page and you don't have somebody that's funneling money into it and then you can have these crazy contracts the way they're going about it now." Bosworth noted that Taylor is an amazing player, but football isn’t a one-man show.
- Bosworth also said the expanded playoff gives more fans a reason to stay invested later into the season.

- It really does take a team to be an elite team to get into the conversation to be a championship in the conference and then maybe get to the playoffs," Bosworth said.
- Bosworth knows what it takes to have a winning team, as he won the 1985 national championship and three Big Eight titles.
- Bosworth has said the exorbitant amounts of money involved in some of these contracts are a "head-scratcher." "The money has gotten to a point where it's just a head scratcher.
- I'm a firm believer of putting some fences around it and controlling the fact that not every school is going to have the deep pockets in which to go deep into," Bosworth said.
- So, yeah, it extends the season and it gives more teams an opportunity, but there's something to be said about the long shot or the hungry dog," Bosworth said.
