—The details of the proposed College Football Playoff expansion are here. The new playoff would include 12 total teams: The six highest-ranked conference champions and six at-large teams. The four highest-ranked conference champions would receive a bye, while the other eight teams would play quarterfinal games on New Year’s Day at on-campus sites.
Pending approval (which will happen), the earliest the new playoff could go into effect would be following the 2023 regular season.
You’re never going to get universal approval on something like this, but I think it sounds awesome. Also, it’s amazing how quickly a major college sports move can happen when the NCAA — which has no control over the College Football Playoff — is removed from the equation.
