Could a 32-team College Football Playoff bracket work?

The minimal effect on the length of the season

With the way that the collegiate and professional football seasons are executed, the Super Bowl comes along almost an exact month after the national championship. This is fortuitous for both leagues, as it eradicates any chances of there being viewership battles between the two title games.

But realistically speaking, the only way that there could be true competition amongst views is if the two events were to occur on the same day, and that is obviously very easy to avoid.

A 32-team playoff would only extend the postseason by three weeks. With this established, that means that if a bracket of such size were to have debuted last season, the title game would have fallen on February 1, 2021, still an entire six days before Super Bowl LV took place.

Therefore, the 32-team system would give fanatics three more weeks of meaningful football (which makes all the more money for everybody), while still letting the Super Bowl and its playoff bracket have their own time in the sun.
