The Big Ten Conference, led by one of the most powerful people in the sport, commissioner Tony Petitti, is championing a 24-team College Football Playoff format that would undoubtedly change the fabric of the sport forever.
The format, which Petitti & Co. insist would give more championship-level access to teams across the sport and would give more meaning to the postseason, is gaining momentum. What initially began as Petitti and the Big Ten sitting on an island of their own with the 24-team playoff has turned into support from other conferences such as the Big 12 and the ACC.
