College Football Playoffs To 12 Teams By 2026

[Omega]

From the AP:

The university presidents who oversee the College Football Playoff have voted to expand the postseason model for determining a national champion from four to 12 teams.

It will happen no later than the 2026 season.

A process that started 14 1/2 months ago with optimism, and then derailed as conference leaders haggled over details, is now moving forward.

The presidents approved a proposal that calls for the six highest-ranked conference champions and six at-large teams to make the playoff.

The at-large teams would be chosen by a selection committee.

The top four seeds would be conference champions and get first-round byes.

True or not, money talks and billion dollar tv contracts shout.

I personally think 12 is too much. I was thinking 6 or 8 but like you said. $$$ Talks.

Yeah it is what is. CFB is turning into NFL lite with NIL, transfer portal, and billion dollar tv deals. Yet I am strangely more interested in the college game this season just to see how the business model evolves.

Maybe NCAA is tired of all this conference hopping?
