"Big Ten and SEC Seek First-Round Byes in New 14-Team College Football Playoff"

The Big Ten and SEC are advocating for a 14-team College Football Playoff model that would guarantee three automatic bids for each conference and reserve the format's two first-round byes for each league's respective champion. The proposed model, "3-3-2-2-1," would also grant two bids each to the ACC and Big 12, and one to the highest-ranked Group of Five team, with the remaining at-large berths divided among the next-highest-ranked teams. The rush to reach a consensus on the future of the CFP comes amid ongoing discussions and negotiations, with a soft deadline set for mid-March to finalize an agreement.

"College Football Playoff and ESPN Extend Contract for $7.8 Billion Over 6 Years"

ESPN and the College Football Playoff have reached a tentative six-year, $7.8 billion extension deal, making ESPN the home of the 12-team tournament through the 2031-32 season. The completion of the contract is contingent on finalizing the expanded format, with discussions ongoing about governance, revenue distribution, and access. The deal would give ESPN control over nearly all Division I college sports championships, except for the men's basketball tournament, and includes the rights to the new set of first-round games held at on-campus sites, in addition to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and championship games.
