Questions surround BYU head coach Kalani Sitake's position on the proposed expansion of the College Football Playoff to 24 teams for the 2027 season. The discussion comes amid ongoing debates about playoff format changes in NCAA Division I football.

Sitake, who has led the BYU Cougars since 2016, was photographed during a game against Utah on November 7, 2026, in Salt Lake City. The playoff expansion proposal would significantly increase the number of teams competing for the national championship, potentially affecting programs across all conferences.
