As players begin reporting to their respective campuses across the country to begin practices, college football is back! There’s plenty of hype surrounding college football this year with the return of an EA Sports NCAA football video game for the first time in a decade, but there are also a lot of teams that have high hopes with the expanded College Football Playoff this year.
The College Football Playoff is tripling in size this year, which opens the door for more than just the top conference champions to state their case. The Playoff is expanding from four to 12 teams for each of the next two seasons. It will be made up of the five highest-ranked conference champions, joined by the next seven highest-ranked teams. So the winner of the Big Ten or SEC Championship Games aren’t the only programs with hopes of chasing a championship this year.
