Mike Greenberg is not one to hold back when he sees something he doesn't like, and the latest talk of expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams has him fired up. During Thursday's episode of Get Up, the veteran sports commentator didn't mince words about what he sees as a dangerous trend for the sport.

"What I can tell you with certainty is that good teams, championship-worthy teams getting left out of the Playoff is a good thing, not a bad thing," Greenberg argued. He believes that the current system, which creates tough decisions and heartbreak for a few deserving squads, actually preserves the intensity and stakes of the regular season.

Greenberg's biggest concern? The potential for teams to treat their biggest rivalry games as meaningless tune-ups. "If we live in a world where Ohio State and Michigan rest their starters for that game at the end of the season because they've got the potential of five playoff games still sitting in front of them, then college football as we know it ceases to exist," he warned.

The momentum for a 24-team playoff is real. In recent weeks, a top coaches' association, along with the Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC, have all thrown their support behind the expansion plan. The SEC remains the lone holdout, and unless commissioner Greg Sankey breaks from the rest of the sport, the CFP is set to double in size.

But the backlash is loud and clear. Fans and media voices alike are sounding alarms that this move is less about competition and more about a cash grab that could wreck what made college football special: every game matters. For now, the sport stands at a crossroads, and the debate over its future is just heating up.
