NEW YORK, NY. (AP) – The university presidents who oversee the College Football Playoff have voted to expand the postseason model for determining a national champion from four to 12 teams.
It will happen no later than the 2026 season.
A process that started 14 1/2 months ago with optimism, and then derailed as conference leaders haggled over details, is now moving forward.
The presidents approved a proposal that calls for the six highest-ranked conference champions and six at-large teams to make the playoff.
The at-large teams would be chosen by a selection committee.
The top four seeds would be conference champions and get first-round byes.
