Report: College Football Playoff to expand to 12 teams

The College Football Playoff board of managers decided on a 12-team playoff on Friday, according to ESPN's College Football Senior Writer Pete Thamel. 

The 12-team model is expected to start in 2026, after the current contract, according to a source. There's still a chance that it could go earlier, but those details are complicated and would take some time to work out. https://t.co/sRWlmiDvbe

Thamel adds that the 12-team model is expected to start in 2026, after the current contract expires. 

More to come.
