The College Football Playoff committee did not reach an agreement on a potential playoff expansion, so the playoff remains at four teams through the 2025 season, which is when the current 12-year contract expires.
Sources told Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger on Friday that the committee canceled its next in-person meeting, which was set for March 2 in Dallas. Because of that, an agreement on a 12-team format will not be reached in time.
The College Football Playoff Board of Managers, which is made up of 11 presidents and chancellors, were told by the 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick on Wednesday that a unanimous decision could not be made on the expansion.
