SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey 'Absolutely' Wants Change to CFP Bracket Format for 2025

Amid the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey is ready to see a change to the format.

Per The Athletic's Seth Emerson, Sankey said he is "absolutely" interested in changing the current format for the 2025 season.

The 12-team Playoff in its current form gives automatic bids to Power 4 conference champions and to the highest-ranked Group of Five team, which was Boise State this season. Additionally, the four highest-ranked conference champions receive first-round byes. That granted Oregon, Georgia, Boise State and Arizona State a free trip to the quarterfinals this year.
