Last week, the landscape of college football changed drastically when the College Football Playoff Board of Managers made the decision to expand the current format. The expansion will increase the number of teams from four to 12, and it is planned to take place in the 2026 college football season, though it’s possible for the expansion to occur beforehand.
The expansion format may come with some issues, but it is clearly better than the small four team format used before.
The 12 teams in the playoff will include the six highest ranked conference champions and six at-large bids.
