RJ Young's 24-Team College Football Playoff Bracket Entering Week 14

The push for a 24-team College Football Playoff (CFP) format is gaining traction as the current playoff season progresses with significant implications. Currently, 36 teams are still in contention for playoff spots, highlighting the potential for a more expansive bracket. The proposed 24-team format would involve 16 home games, enhancing the competition's fairness and excitement.

In August, the idea of a larger playoff structure was considered by major conferences like the Big Ten, advocating for a system that includes automatic qualifiers from the Power 4 conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC) and two from the Group of 6 (American, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and Pac-12). Additionally, six at-large selections would be made by the CFP selection committee.

The 24-team playoff model would increase the number of home games and ensure a more equitable determination of the national champion. This weekend is pivotal for teams to solidify their positions and potentially influence the CFP
