Why I LOVE the Big Ten’s 24-Team Playoff Plan + Greg Gard’s Underrated Greatness

from The Bucky Report · host Rajeev Chhabra and Justin Julka

In this episode of Rajeev’s Corner, I dive into the newly proposed 24-team College Football Playoff format backed by the Big Ten — and why I absolutely love the idea. From more meaningful late-season games to incredible campus playoff environments and expanded access across college football, I explain why this proposal could actually be great for the sport.Then we shift to Wisconsin basketball, where the Badgers have once again finished off a strong Big Ten regular season. It’s time to talk about Greg Gard and the consistency he’s brought to the program. Wisconsin fans sometimes take the program’s high floor for granted, but Gard has quietly built one of the most reliable teams in the conference year after year.More playoff football, another strong Badgers season, and a little perspective on why both might deserve more appreciation.If you enjoy Wisconsin sports talk and thoughtful college football discussion, Rajeev’s Corner is the place for it.Help The Bucky Report get some feedback!
