The college football postseason appears to moving to the old NFL postseason model.
Since its creation in 2014, the usual suspects have dominated the four-team field. Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma have a combined 20 appearances, compared to just eight by all other FBS schools, none of which were from the Group of Five. Expansion has been a talking point for years and it’s coming closer to a reality.
Although new models have not yet been presented officially to the commissioners and presidents, Pete Thamel reports that there is a consensus among campus officials that a 12-team playoff is the most likely next step.
