[b]Get ready for an expanded College Football Playoff.
Members of the College Football Playoff Board of Managers voted to expand the CFP format to 12 teams, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.
The vote was unanimous.
The 12-team model will be introduced in the 2026 football season, after the current CFP contract expires, according to the report.
SI reports that the expanded format could emerge in 2024, 2025, or 2026, but the date is being left for commissioners to determine.
The decision represents a major turnaround in the expansion process, which appeared to be dead in the water after a failed vote to expand.[/b]
