The College Football Playoff board of managers is slated to vote on February 20th regarding a proposed model for the fall's 12-team playoff, featuring the five highest-ranked conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked teams. Approval hinges on potential consensus, notably from the Pac-12, the lone holdout.
With the Pac-12's diminished state post-realignment, currently comprising only Washington State and Oregon State, the conference seeks resolution on legal matters and CFP revenue discussions. Washington State president Kirk Schulz, representing the Pac-12, acknowledged an impending vote, indicating progress after legal issues' resolution.
Mississippi State president Mark Keenum, chair of the CFP's board, anticipates resolution on the matter, stressing the importance of defining the playoff format for the upcoming season. The 5+7 model, favored by many, responds to realignment impacts, with commissioners proposing it for approval by presidents and chancellors in November. Schulz had previously requested delay until the Pac-12's stance was clear.
As discussions unfold, ESPN continues to monitor developments surrounding potential playoff expansion and conference realignment's broader implications. The 5+7 model, if approved, would mark a significant step in shaping college football's future playoff landscape.
