Potential playoff expansion plus Pete Carroll to coach the Poly Bowl

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.
