As a reminder, the playoff system this year involves a 64 team first round, which pits colleges ranked 33 v 96 against each other in a play-in to face the top 32 teams in round two. The remaining 16 teams after round four will then play in a limit three game round robin. Teams with the 8 best records move on to the next round in a home 'n home series, total aggregate points win. The final four teams will face off in the semi-finals, 1 v 4 and 2 v 3, where rankings are based on average gate a game, excluding playoffs. The final will be played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Fox at the brand new College Football Dome... sometime in mid June 2026. Fox announced this will be the first AI commentated football game in history.
Really looking forward to this.
