Tired of waiting for the commissioners to make a decision about expanding the College Football Playoff, the 11 presidents and chancellors who comprise the CFP's board of managers took control on Friday with a unanimous vote to expand the field to 12 teams in 2026.
The presidents have strongly urged the commissioners to try and implement the new format as soon as 2024. The 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick will meet next week in Irving, Texas, to start that discussion.
After more than a year of indecision and unproductive in-person meetings, the monumental change to the sport's postseason happened swiftly -- in a one-hour, virtual meeting.
