Now that the Rose Bowl is on board, the College Football Playoff will expand starting in the 2024 season, barring unforeseen circumstances.
For Penn State football and its fans, this should be good news.
Penn State has never made the Playoff in its current 4-team format but would have made it four times had the 12-team Playoff begun in 2016.
Judging from Twitter reactions, Penn State fans, for the most part, are happy. But not every college football fan is. Some love the future format. Some loathe it.
Here’s how the people of Twitter reacted to news that the expanded Playoff looks to be starting in 2024, not 2026, which would have been the season without the Rose Bowl being on board.

Weird to actively root for Penn State to be 5-8 as opposed to 1-4.

Would feel better if we made the 4-team field in 2023.

That's gonna be the best part of it

We should be in it. Things get more interesting though with Big Ten expansion. Do 4 get in as Psu, USC, Mich, Osu? We may have to schedule better non cons to keep other teams out in weaker conferences.

Like a 4 seed Penn State will get beat by a lower seeded team that they beat in the regular season.

Rivalry games are already on life support. The regular season will still be more relevant than basketball’s regular season

The DUMBEST THING IN THE WORLD
Regular Season now doesn't mean that much
Conference Championships won't mean that much
Stupid Stupid Stupid https://t.co/xTlcAcGcrg

Regular season is ruined

It really won’t. If it’s the best conference ( which it is ) it has the better teams. I promise you, if SC, Florida or Ole Miss were in the Big 10 or any other conf this year, they probably win it or Are at LEAST a top 3 team record wise
