It looks as if there is finally going to be some movement on College Football Playoff expansion.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that league commissioners are set to discuss a 12-team playoff, with six spots reserved for the highest-ranked conference champions. It’s unclear at this time when the plan would be implemented, with the AP noting the soonest would “seem to be” 2023.
An interesting note is that there is no mention of Power Five or Group of Five in the verbiage the AP uses. Given the Week 17 CFP rankings from the 2020 season, the Pac-12 wouldn’t have made a 12-team playoff, as conference champs Cincinnati (American) and Coastal Carolina (Sun Belt) were ranked ahead of Pac-12 champ Oregon.
