College Football Playoff expanding in 2024
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Big 12 is going to 2 teams in a lot more often than they get 1. Let’s go
Did they ever release how the money distribution was going to work? Hope that a majority is a guaranteed split with a smaller portion going to the at-large selections, but I've gotta believe the SEC has stacked the deck on those too.
I believe the official change is in 26, unless they come to an agreement to change it sooner… which it sounds like they are.
Kinda. It’ll be 12 going forward, but the schedule, tv contracts, and bowl involvement is all going to be redone in 2026 when the new contract goes into effect
The current 4 team playoff contract runs through the end of 2025 which is why they needed 100% agreement to modify it early.
I live nearby but can’t imagine paying Rose Bowl prices even for ISU. I briefly looked at getting tix for my dad and I the Stanford incident year and I seem to remember just throwing up in my mouth that it was in the 3-4k range for two tickets.
Ironically when Iowa plays UCLA in regular season they will be really easy to get for 20 bucks.
I’m glad they realized it needs to change sooner. A 14 team conference that only has two good teams shouldn’t get 50% of playoff spots.
The committee are going to look like gigantic criminal syndicate when they break their own 13 data point rule AGAIN for they same team they always break it for…the team they made the rule up to help in the first place.
Its laughable the Rose bowl was threatening to delay this in the first place. Fire the Rose bowl into the sun, replace it with the Lily bowl in Long Beach. You can have Snoop Dogg and the remaining members of Sublime do the anthem.
"The first round of the playoff in 2024 will take place the week ending Saturday, December 21, at either the home field of the higher-seeded team or at another site designated by the higher-seeded institution. (No. 12 at No. 5, No. 11 at No. 6, No. 10 at No. 7, and No. 9 at No. 8.) The specific game dates, likely late in that week, will be announced later.
For the 2024 and 2025 seasons, the four quarterfinal games and two Playoff Semifinal games will be played in bowls on a rotating basis. The 2024 quarterfinals will take place in the Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, while the Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl will host the Playoff Semifinals. The 2025 quarterfinals will take place in the Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, while the Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl will host the Playoff Semifinals. Specific dates for all quarterfinal and semifinal games will be announced at a later time.
The national championship games will be played January 20, 2025, in Atlanta, and January 19, 2026, in Miami."

You used the word "rule" but what I think you meant was "bullsh!t excuse".
It’s a floating rule. Ideal data points are 13, 6, and now 12. The worst data point number is also 12.
You really can’t know anything about a team with only 12 data points…except one team you know it all with 6, or even 12.
I have a feeling if the Buckeyes cancelled a game at halftime the ideal data points might be 11.5 data points.
It is a little odd now to have this brand new football mega stadium in the same metro and the Rose Bowl still acts as if it’s god of football. I see it every time I fly in and out, you could probably see it from space.
Given the perfect weather and stadium combo they should probably host 2-3 bowls at sofi.
They had me until I saw the dates- Dec 21 for 1st round games and Jan 20 for Championship."The first round of the playoff in 2024 will take place the week ending Saturday, December 21, at either the home field of the higher-seeded team or at another site designated by the higher-seeded institution.

I have sport ADD & will have lost interest by Jan 20 when the regular season ends late Nov.
With a 12 team playoff, I struggle to see the need to even have CCG's. Why not 1st round early Dec and go from there to end college football season by New Years?
