College Football Playoff to remain at 12 teams after SEC and Big Ten fail to
agree on expansion
IRVING, Texas (AP) --- The College Football Playoff will remain at 12 teams
after the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Big Ten couldn't
come up with a compromise for expansion.
The CFP Management Committee announced Friday the 12-team format would stay the
same for the 2026-27 season. The decision provides additional time for
evaluation and discussion on the current format and potential changes in the
future.
The CFP went from four teams to 12 teams for the 2024 season, and the two most
powerful conferences favored further expansion but could not agree on a number.
