Discussions around the College Football Playoff (CFP) expansion are ongoing, with concerns raised about the potential impact on traditional events like the Army-Navy game. Various stakeholders, including TCU AD Jeremiah Donati, express reservations about the proposed changes, citing potential imbalance and favoritism towards certain conferences. The proposed 14-team playoff model, set to start in 2026, has faced criticism for potentially undermining the competitive nature of the sport and favoring certain conferences over others.
A 14-team College Football Playoff is a terrible idea https://t.co/F76UDNn0wT

College Football Playoff administrators want the sport to look like the NFL without acknowledging that most college football fans prefer the college product over the pro version. Apple: https://t.co/x80yuV2YK2 Spotify: https://t.co/w7uM0f60rs https://t.co/3NqQ40vXwt

A 14-team playoff model, under “serious consideration” starting in 2026, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ isn’t a playoff, as much as it’s an invitational. And a bad one at that. It would grant automatic bids to 6 teams - six! - that didn’t win its conference https://t.co/GorpJdbaRU
COLUMN: I have reviewed the 14-team College Football Playoff proposal and am here to tell you it absolutely sucks. https://t.co/bKdPGqbIk1 via @USATODAY
Column: “There was pushback on four” automatic CFP bids for the Big Ten and SEC. So the proposal is for three each, and two for the Big 12 and ACC. It’s still an attempt to stack the deck in favor of leagues that already have all the advantages. https://t.co/oldAxYzwNI
The B1G and SEC are getting three teams into a 14-team Playoff with or without AQ berths. Meanwhile, the ACC didn't have 2 teams in the top 14 in 2021 or '23. You're going to turn off the public by legislating special treatment for 2 leagues that don't even benefit from it.
What would a 14-team college football playoff look like in 2026? @CFBHeather and I break down the upcoming discussions and look at AQ and financial models. https://t.co/hjFuv7nYBy
This is an awful playoff deal for the SEC and Big Ten. Ought to be a guaranteed no vote. https://t.co/iWmeCw5HhN
Still an open discussion on where the playoff goes after the current 12-team plan ends after the next two seasons, but here’s one idea that’s being floated between the conferences: https://t.co/s26eKFo8tb

Was a part of a small group of folks who sat down with #TCU AD Jeremiah Donati today. We discussed a lot, including CFP changes, future scheduling, NIL, and facilities… Yes, baseball fans, that includes info about Lupton. I’ll have more on HFB soon.
TCU AD Jeremiah Donati spoke with some local media today on a few topics. On further CFP expansion/changes: "I'm not involved in the negotiations of the CFP extension, but it feels as though there's two conferences trying to stack the deck versus everyone else. That's…
Leaders are exploring starting bowls a week earlier & CFP officials are re-examining how to treat Army-Navy. An expanded CFP puts at risk the future of “America’s Game” as a standalone event & its relevancy in CFP selection. “We are not moving the game.” https://t.co/zVLtTsRY0P
