Consider it dead for now.
After a lot of talk and traction on expanding the College Football Playoff earlier in the year in an abbreviated fashion, even potentially prior to the end of the current contract, those in charge released a statement on Friday tabling the idea. Instead, according to the CFP Board of Managers, the current four-team model will continue until the contract is up.
“The Board of Managers has accepted a recommendation from the Management Committee to continue the current four-team playoff for the next four years, as called for in the CFP’s original 12-year plan, said Bill Hancock, Executive Director of the CFP committee in a statement. “At the same time, the Board expects the Management Committee to continue its discussions of a new format that would go into effect for the 2026-27 season.
