We've finally made it. Nearly 1,300 days after an announcement that "a sub-group of College Football Playoff's (CFP) management committee today presented a proposal to change the current four-team format to a 12-team event," and nearly 120 days after a breathless 2024 college football season kicked off, we've got our 12-team playoff, and it starts Friday night.
The inaugural CFP first round will take place in four storied locations: South Bend, Indiana; State College, Pennsylvania; Austin, Texas; and Columbus, Ohio. We've got the proverbial Helmet Games (Texas vs. Clemson, Ohio State vs. Tennessee), we've got a couple of major upstart stories (Indiana visiting Notre Dame, SMU visiting Penn State) and we've got wintry weather expected in three of four locations.
