"CFP Management Committee Considers 14-Team Playoff Expansion for 2026 Season"
The College Football Playoff management committee briefly discussed the possibility of a 14-team model following the recent announcement of the "5+7" format for the 12-team field, with the potential change not expected until 2026 at the earliest. In addition to future formats, the committee is also addressing issues such as revenue distribution, voting rights, and media rights negotiations, with ESPN reportedly preparing a six-year deal worth $1.3 billion, pending a vote from CFP leaders.
