The conversation continues with a deep dive into how expanding postseason formats in both college football and March Madness could reshape the value of the regular season, along with what it means for programs like the Miami Hurricanes. Dave Hyde joins to discuss Miami's athletic director search, the PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf battle, and the Dolphins' long-term outlook as the city continues to host major events like the Grand Prix and Miami Open.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing the latest news and notes around the USC football program and college football in general. With spring football in the rearview mirror we are keeping tabs on how the Trojans are navigating the off-season and how the sport we all love makes tweaks to the rules and post-season. Last week the American Football Coaches Association voted to expand the college football playoffs along with a few other modifications to the college football calendar. Their proposal would double the size of the CFP bracket from 12 to 24 teams and eliminate the conference championship games. It would also condense the regular season with only one bye week, preserve the Army/Navy game and make sure the season ends by the second week in January. The crew also talks about former USC head coach Pete Carroll coaching in the Polynesian Bowl against former Texas head coach Mack Brown, the "five to play five" proposal in college football, expanding the NCAA basketball tournament to 76 teams and former Trojan safety Will Harris getting promoted in Miami to the secondary coach and passing game coordinator.

Hour 1 kicks off with the start of Miami Dolphins rookie minicamp as the guys discuss why expectations for Miami may need to stay realistic during a major rebuilding season fueled by young players and rookies. The conversation shifts to the NBA playoffs and growing tension between Draymond Green and Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA, while also comparing Barkley's criticism for never winning a championship to the way Dan Marino is judged for never winning a Super Bowl. The crew also reacts to the latest Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel rumors and debates whether Vrabel's future could be impacted if the situation continues escalating publicly. Later in the hour, the guys break down the expanding March Madness field and the possibility of a 24-team College Football Playoff, debating whether postseason expansion is damaging the importance of the regular season, conference championships, and traditional bowl games
The guys react to major changes potentially coming to college sports as March Madness expands to 76 teams and the College Football Playoff reportedly moves closer to a 24-team format. They discuss how much the expanded playoff system would have changed last season's college football landscape and whether conference championship games still carry real importance in today's era of postseason expansion. The conversation also turns to the Miami Hurricanes never winning an ACC championship and what that says about the program's modern history. The crew debates whether expanding the postseason ultimately hurts the value of the regular season in both football and basketball, while also acknowledging that traditional non-playoff bowl games are becoming increasingly irrelevant as more players choose to opt out.

Connor O'Gara from The OG Kickoff joins the show! The College Football Playoff Management Committee continued to weigh multiple potential formats during their annual meetings this week. However, despite openness in the room, no decision was made. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey is holding strong for a a 16-team College Football Playoff as momentum seems to have grown for the Big Ten proposal of 24 teams. A potential 24-team playoff would add 12 games and an additional round of the tournament. The committee received presentations from analysts who projected what viewership could look like with a changed format, along with conversations with network partners. Schedule remains one of the greatest complications. Historically, the national title game was set for the second Monday of January. With the 12-team playoff, it's pushed at least two weeks later. Additionally, as the season goes longer, the NFL starts to encroach. The NFL starts playing games on Saturday in December, which has become a major complication for the college football postseason. Each of the past two years, two of the four first-round games have gone up against NFL matchups; they have drawn substantially fewer viewers. If the playoff were to add another round, it would either have to play on weekdays or risk some of its most valuable games against the most powerful league in sports. Which current college football coaches have produced the most NFL Draft picks? What does that tell us about what those coaches have, or have not, accomplished?
