A 12-team College Football Playoff field with the 5-7 format is set in stone for 2024 and 2025, but the door is open for changes in 2026.
With that in mind, there's been some talk about a 14-team playoff beginning in 2026, and it would notably feature the Big Ten and SEC getting three automatic bids apiece.
Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports provided more information:
"In a format being socialized among major conference administrators, the Big Ten and SEC would each receive three automatic qualifiers into a 14-team field, with the ACC and Big 12 getting two each and the Group of Five's best team qualifying as well.
