The College Football Playoff is built to expand.
While only three games determine a champion, the current format is seven games: two semifinals, a title game and four marquee bowls. To convert a four-team playoff into a 12-team version requires four more games and about three more weeks.The four-team model already is scheduled for the 2024 and ‘25 seasons, but conference commissioners who manage the CFP are working to flip the format for those years.
The NFL schedule will play a huge role in determining when games will be played in a 12-team format for both 2024 and ‘25 and beyond.The four first-round games to be played on campuses will be played at least 12 days after the conference championship games, currently played the first weekend of December. This gives teams that play for their conference titles extra rest and keeps Army-Navy as the only major college football game on tap the second weekend of December.
There have been 16 CFP semifinals. Five have drawn television audiences of more than 20 million viewers. The rest ranged from 15.7 million to 19.5 million. “I think if I’m a network, I’m saying, ‘If you’re going to mandate that we go up against an NFL game, I know that my rating is going to be down so I’m not going to bid as much,’” Thompson said.
