"ACC and Big 12 Set to Approve New College Football Playoff Contract"

All 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame are expected to agree to a new College Football Playoff (CFP) contract by Friday, paving the way for a 14-team playoff starting in 2026. The financial distribution will heavily favor the Big Ten and SEC, with schools in those conferences set to receive over $21 million annually. The Group of 5 schools will see a modest increase in revenue, but some commissioners have expressed discontent with the plan. ESPN is poised to spend nearly $1.3 billion on the playoff for six seasons, and the format for the 14-team playoff is yet to be determined.

"College Football Playoff Gains Momentum with New 14-Team Format"

Sources indicate that there is "momentum" for a 14-team College Football Playoff starting in 2026, with discussions ongoing about automatic qualification, revenue distribution, and governance. The television deal with ESPN has already been agreed upon, but the CFP's leadership groups still need to finalize the format. Potential models include three automatic qualifier spots for the Big Ten and SEC, two for the Big 12 and ACC, and one for the Group of Five, with Notre Dame potentially earning a spot based on selection committee rankings. Financial discussions center around a more weighted revenue distribution for the SEC and Big Ten, while there's unanimous support for eliminating the rule requiring unanimity to make changes to the playoff.
