With rumors circulating that the College Football Playoff committee is discussing yet another change to the CFP format, fans are reminiscing on the good ole days.
On Wednesday night, ESPN reported that the CFP committee was in talks about changing the new 12-team format to a 14-team playoff as soon as 2026.
People are speculating how many teams would get an automatic bid due to conference standings. Would the Power-4 schools get three spots each? Does it mean that other conferences have to fit into just two bids?
Check out some of the best reactions from college football fans across the country:

1. CFB leaders agree on a 12-team playoff and sound very happy with the outcome
2. Reports emerge that ESPN and the Playoff have a TV deal
3. Actually no they don't. The deal isn't done.
4. Now leaders are talking about 14 or 16 teams
Does anyone want a 14-team college football playoff?

Who knows, maybe by 2023 we'll have a 32-team playoff at the end of the season... Which would lead teams to play more games in the postseason than during the current regular season structure. Hm.
