The College Football Playoff is less than a month removed from its second year at 12 teams, but major changes are once again on the horizon. That includes a push to expand the size of the field once again.
What the two most powerful conferences, the SEC and Big Ten, can’t seem to agree on is just how large to make the CFP. The SEC stands firm at 16 teams. Meanwhile, the Big Ten reportedly wants to go to a 24-team field.
Now, ESPN’s Pete Thamel has reported on just what the Big Ten’s proposal would look like. That’s based on an internal document that has been circulating.
What does the Big Ten’s proposal look like?
The Big Ten’s proposal would immediately double the size of the College Football Playoff field. That’s six times larger than the original four-team size that was played as recently as the 2023 season.
With that, the entire postseason structure would be shaken. Conference championships would be eliminated and an additional week of games would be added to campus.
