  • CFP Expansion

    The CFP commissioners met today and apparently got nowhere on an agreement on when or how to expand.

    This is a different group than the working committee of AD’s that recommended expansion.

    Until someone writes an article you can follow this thread on Twitter from SI’s Ross Delenger

    Apparently this was a much uglier meeting than people let on .

      The ACC has gone on record saying they want to fix NIL and the transfer portal first before expansion happens. This effectively kills expansion until 2026 when the CFP TV contract is up for grabs.

        Didn't we always think that this would not happen until other networks could throw their money into the ring? Who wants to give ESPN more share?

          ESPN was willing to increase money for expanded playoffs, some say as high as $450 million.
          Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

          Intimidate! Dominate! Celebrate!

            The Athletic is reporting that expansion will not happen during the current contract. We’re stuck with 4 teams through 2026.

                    Pete Thamel just tweeted that they have agreed on 12 teams today. The 12 team bracket will start in 2026.

                      How do you get from 12 to 2 finalists? 2 byes? 4 byes?

                        I'm thinking there are four opening games, with the winners getting into the QF as seen below (like a college basketball league tournament):

                        # 1 plays winner of 8 vs. 9
                        # 4 plays winner of 5 vs. 12
                        # 3 plays winner of 6 vs. 11
                        # 2 plays winner of 7 vs. 10

                          The top 4 teams get byes, while the next 4 play at home. Quarterfinals at higher seed venues & semis at the current CFP bowl arrangements.

                            “This is a great day for college football. The expanded access to the CFP will increase fan interest and puts an even greater emphasis on the regular season. I look forward to the Big 12’s participation in the Playoff.” - Brett Yormark
