Big 12 coaches unanimously agree on their preference for a 24-team playoff
Big 12 coaches have reached a consensus on their preference for a 24-team College Football Playoff. This change could have allowed five teams from the conference to participate last season, compared to only one under the current format. The proposal aims to enhance representation and competitiveness within college football.
- ▪All 16 Big 12 coaches unanimously supported the idea of a 24-team playoff during their spring meetings.
- ▪If implemented last year, the Big 12 would have had five teams in the playoff instead of just Texas Tech.
- ▪Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark is in favor of the expansion, contingent on its economic viability.
