The future of the College Football Playoff contract after the 2025 season remains uncertain, with executive director Bill Hancock saying last week there's a "need" for the deal to be done in the next month.
Since its inception in 2014, when it created a four-team model for a sport with five major conferences, the CFP has been unwieldy and awkward.
The only certainty has been a slow pace, turf squabbles and an unstable conference environment that has kept everything fluid.
But as Hancock's one-month deadline of mid-March looms, there's optimism and "momentum" for a 14-team playoff starting in 2026, sources told ESPN.
