The Big 12 Conference is undergoing significant changes as it prepares for the upcoming college football season. With the departure of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC, the conference has realigned and expanded to a 16-team format, welcoming former Pac-12 schools Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah.
One of the most notable shifts in college football is the expanded College Football Playoff (CFP) structure, which now includes 12 teams with five spots reserved for conference champions. This change ensures that the winners of the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, and ACC will have a place in the playoff field.
