The 12-team model is expected to start in 2026, after the current contract, according to a source. There's still a chance that it could go earlier, but those details are complicated and would take some time to work out.
The new format will feature the six highest-ranked champions and six highest-ranked at-larges. CFP Board of Managers approves 12-team playoff: Source - The Athletic

Subject to reaching agreement with bowls, the four quarterfinal games and two Playoff Semifinal games would be played in bowls on a rotating basis.
The national championship game will continue to be played at a neutral site.

The four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and each will receive a first-round bye.
Only total ignorance keep this from happening years ago. It's on the commissioners now to get this done ASAP.Originally Posted by SicemDawgz
Has nothing to do with right or wrong, it’s about money. Bowls are meaningless and viewership is down, yet NCAA football remains extremely popular. Adding these extra games that actually mean something will generate millions stacked on top of millions.
Some of you guys are looking at this all wrong. The is a good attempt by the CFPB and the Bowl leadership to LIMIT the number of players "opting out" of bowl games at the end of each season in order to preserve themselves for the NFL draft. I think it's a good move. It makes the bigger bowl games more important, and the players will be much less likely to "opt out" if their team is still playing for a national title. The NFL wants to see the players from the best teams play in bowl games, and this almost guarantees that they will. And if all the players from the 12 best teams play in bowl games, those in the smaller bowls may do the same. How does it benefit you, if you "opt out" of playing in the Independence Bowl if 100 to 150 players from the 12 playoff teams choose to play in the bigger bowl games?
May take a couple of bowl seasons but when advisers to players start seeing draft stock of players who opt out going down, those advisers will start telling players not to opt out unless they have a valid injury that they shouldn't risk playing with.
Overall, this move is what should have happened two or three years ago.
Huh? I never said anything about right or wrong. I agree it is about money. They were ignorant to leave these hundreds of millions on the table these last few years.
Any chance these NIL deals include a requirement that kids play? Probably not.
Yeah probably not, seems like that's pay for play for sure. Maybe the NFL is the only thing that can change this. If they start punishing players who skip games by drafting them lower or not at all. The fact is the NFL doesn't seem to care if players play in meaningless bowl games. They have plenty of film on players already, their decisions are already made. One more game usually doesn't change what 2-5 years of film tells you about a player. It's unfortunate for us fans, but seems to be reality.
