Part 3/7:
As the show progressed, Barry shared his take, stating two key beliefs about the 12-team playoff expansion. The first being that while the expansion creates excitement and creates better home atmospheres, it does not change the fundamental reality that not all teams in the playoff are capable of winning a national championship.
Barry expressed skepticism about the idea that twelve teams are genuinely capable contenders for the title in any given year, asserting that there might only be five or six teams with realistic championship potential. He emphasized that, as in previous years, the semifinalists are likely to consist of the same elite teams that have historically fought for the championship title.
