JR reveals the real reason so many national media voices (especially ESPN personalities) are against the 24-team college football playoff. It’s not just TV rights — they don’t want to have to deeply know and cover 40+ teams every season instead of the usual 5-10 blue-blood programs. College football playoff news, national media, 24 team playoff, SEC bias, Big Ten football, ESPN vs Fox, Bud Elliott Cover 3.
