The College Football Playoff needs to expand

How many teams make the College Football Playoffs compared to other sports?

Football - 12 of 134 teams - 8.95%
Football (FCS) - 24 out of 129 teams - 18.60%
Football (NFL) - 14 out 32 teams - 43.75%
Men's Basketball - 68 out of 352 teams - 19.32%
Men's Baseball - 64 out of 300 teams - 21.33%
Women's Basketball - 68 out of 360 teams - 18.89%
Women's Volleyball - 64 out of 346 teams - 18.50%
Women's Softball - 64 out of 286 teams - 22.38%

Men's college football has the least amount of playoff teams of all the major sports. People would think of the playoffs completely different if bowl games didn't exist.

2024 Bowl opt outs

I was checking out a bowl opt out list and I'm disappointing to see that B.C.'s star pass rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku has not opted out for the draft. He's expected to be a first round pick. He could be a major problem for our offense. Our opt outs aren't listed on this list. Michigan lost several players, but almost all of them are projected first rounders.

This other tracker includes portal transfers. It appears that the Huskers were barely affected by the portal compared to some teams. Tim Beck has half his team in the portal.
