(1:03:00-1:13:16) Investing in a Backup QB (1:13:17-1:16:02) EA Sports College Football Video Game Update 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? Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube and join us LIVE from 8-9 am et! https://youtube.com/live/eT1kYeYXl7s

0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three. It is a dear Andy show. Your questions drive the show. And oh, by the way, we can get right to it with your questions because there's more playoff expansion potentially on the way and soon, except not for two years and before they ever play a 12
0:25.1	team playoff. I know it's confusing. I'm actually very glad we just did the FAQs on the 12
0:31.3	team playoff yesterday before we got to the 14 or the 16 because I think it's just going to confuse
0:36.3	people even more.
0:44.5	I was listening to non-college football specific stuff yesterday and they were trying to explain how the 12 team playoff is going to work and nobody who doesn't get in the weeds in college
0:51.6	football seems to understand anything. Like I heard guys talk,
0:55.0	well,
0:55.2	Notre Dame can't be any higher than sixth.
0:57.3	No,
0:57.6	they can't be any higher than fifth.
0:59.6	But again,
1:00.2	if you're not in the weeds on this stuff,
1:02.3	how are you supposed to know that?
1:04.0	Like,
1:04.2	it is one of the most confusing things.
1:06.9	Your postseason shouldn't be this confusing.
1:10.8	And so here's the thing.
1:13.2	I'm about to reach a breaking point here on this.
1:17.6	And you know me.
1:18.4	I've been Mr. Expand the playoff.
1:21.1	I've had no problem with them wanting to make changes.
1:24.6	But at this point, it is pretty clear.
