The College Football Playoff has been officially expanded

[DuckzRule]

It has increased to 12 teams, and the changes may happen between 2024 and 2026.

Does it mean Oregon has higher chances at a natty?

Well if you consider the criteria it likely gives us a better chance in a given year of making it to the CFP even if we don't win the PAC.

It's essentially the same plan as last year. Only difference now is the Big Ten got USC/UCLA as part of their new media deal, which is all I think Warren ever wanted when he had the Pac-12/ACC kill the expansion plan last off-season.

I'm starting to think that because of the decision Oregon may stay in the Pac-12, if we move to the Big Ten it will be harder to reach the playoff.

Yep, if the PAC is still considered power 5 (sarcasm, kind of) doesnt make sense to move unless the money is insanely better

Feels like this paved the way for the PAC to add some teams too

Pac-12 likely feels good about this if Oregon and Utah continue being at the top of the conference. They'd have to then hope Stanford, UW, or one of the Arizona schools finally steps up to be a good 3rd.

This is so AWESOME!!!

Not only will there FINALLY be a decent sized playoff, but losing a second game now doesn't instantly ruin your chances of still making it.

I know that there are many fans (like me) who'd love to see more Power-5 matchups in non-conference play, but it doesn't happen nearly as much as it could because a loss basically has a team standing on the ledge the rest of the season. One more loss and they're toast, so they don't like scheduling better matchups.

This should do a lot toward changing that.

Again = AWESOME!!!

So hopefully it means we can play a team like Alabama or Clemson in non-conference play in September without having to worry about losing our playoff chances
