Rose Bowl Signs Agreement to Accelerate CFP Expansion to 12 Teams: Reports

Posted on December 1, 2022

It was originally expected that the expansion of the College Football Playoff to 12 teams would not happen until 2026, but it is highly likely that it will happen even sooner.

According to multiple reports, the Rose Bowl modified their current contract, paving the way for a 12-team playoff beginning in the 2024 season.

A 2024 expansion was originally envisioned as an outside opportunity, but the new Rose Bowl deal has made that a reality.

The 12 teams will be made up of the six highest-ranked conference champions and six overall teams, similar to other NCAA tournaments.

Last year’s proposal saw the four highest-ranked conference champions receive first-round byes, with the remaining eight teams playing in the first round with games played at the higher-seeded home fields. The quarterfinals and semifinals would be hosted by existing bowl games. The New Year’s Six have rotated as semifinal games since the inception of the CFP.
