By Steven Lassan, Athlon Sports: College football’s postseason format is officially on the path to change, as the four-team championship will become a 12-team CFB Playoff in the near future. On Thursday, a working group of the CFB Playoff’s management committee recommended the postseason shift to a 12-team format after studying the issue for the last two years.
The four-team version is still in place for 2021 and ’22, so the earliest the new format could begin is after the ’23 season. However, the start date and which bowl games will be involved are two of many details to be sorted out in the next few months.
