Indianapolis – The NCAA Division II football playoffs will expand from 28 to 32 teams beginning this season to accommodate the format change that will award 16 conferences automatic bids.

Lane Kiffin, the head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels, has stirred up debate by suggesting the College Football Playoffs should expand from 12 to 16 teams.

The NCAA Division II football playoffs will expand from 28 to 32 teams beginning this season to accommodate for the format change that will award 16 conferences automatic bids.

Now, other teams are eager to join those that have already made a playoff appearance. ESPN's Greg McElroy mentioned on his podcast, "Always College Football," that he believes the Texas A&M Aggies could contend for a playoff spot by the end of the season.

ESPN will also broadcast both CFP semifinals and the 2026 CFP national championship, scheduled for Monday, Jan. 19, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The title game returns to Miami for the first time since 2021 and marks the second straight year the championship is being held in a repeat host city, following Atlanta’s turn in both 2018 and 2025.

College Football Playoff 2025-26 schedule, dates, times, TV channel, sites for quarterfinal, semifinal and national championship game next season.

Ole Miss narrowly missed College Football Playoff. Lane Kiffin says playoff system 'doesn't have it right.' He favors a 16-team bracket with no automatic bids. Jaxson Dart had one question for coach Lane Kiffin after Mississippi’s gutting loss at Florida last November.

The College Football Playoff will be 12 teams for the second team ever for the 2025 season, and the schedule for the playoff is now set. The College Football Playoff and ESPN have released dates, times and broadcast information for the playoff games in 2025-26.

The College Football Playoff will get things started with the first round games being played on campus sites on the weekend of Dec. 19. Like last season, there will be one Friday night first-round game on Friday, Dec. 19. The remaining first-round games will be played on Saturday, Dec. 20. Times for the first-round games will be determined later.

Less than four months remain before the 2025-26 college football season kicks off. With the conclusion of spring practices across the country, the teams that will be contenders for a national championship are slowly coming into view.

The portal has closed, the draft is over, so who are the best players who stuck around even though they had options?

Lane Kiffin is ready for a change to the College Football Playoff format after Ole Miss was left out of the 12-team Playoff in 2024. The Rebels head coach suggested increasing the field to 16 teams, citing several reasons for why the change would work better.

The SEC and the Big Ten are doing their best to monopolize the College Football Playoff format as best as they can. Which means the smaller schools are set up to get screwed over. They already had the short end of the stick.

The College Football Playoff's management committee will weigh changes to the selection process for the postseason bracket at this week's annual review meeting, according to The Athletic's Chris Vannini.
