College Football Playoff National Championship

College Football Playoff Unveils Format For 12 Team Bracket

by

The College Football Playoff was one of the most significant changes in college sports. However, the change by the NCAA has been seen as the greatest move by the league in recent memory. Before the playoff, the national championship game was decided by computers and numbers. Now the biggest game in college football is earned by the best teams winning their way to the game. However, now the chances of making the big game just got a little bit harder.

The NCAA has announced that the four-team playoff will soon be expanding to twelve. Fans longed for the opportunity to see a college playoff. Now the desire for more teams will be coming soon. On Friday, the NCAA unveiled the first look at the new playoff system. With each game in the format earning the title of an already-titled bowl game. According to the new format, each game will be named after one of the series’ iconic New Year Six Bowl Games. Take a look at the new format in the tweet below.

College Football Playoffs Set To Expand

At the same time, many fans believe the NCAA already had the format right. Since its inception, the playoff has been four teams. However, even with just four teams, blowouts still occurred. Including last year when TCU thrashed Michigan for a shot at the National Championship. So many believe that adding more teams will only bring more blowout scores in the process. However, adding more teams will undoubtedly bring more cash to the NCAA. Which we all know is the ultimate end goal.

Now the debate on who should make the playoff should be settled. If twelve teams are a part of the series, then no one will be missing out. However, one should still expect to see the same suspects making a run at the championship. Including the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama, and Ohio State. But now, teams that may not always get the chance will at least get to say they were a part of the moment. Do you think the College Football Playoffs committee is making the right choice to expand the format? Let us know what you think in the comment section.

Robert Griffin III sprinted off the air during ESPN’s coverage of the College Football Playoff on Saturday, believing his wife to be going into labor. The former NFL quarterback and his wife, Grete, confirmed afterward that it was a false alarm.

“I gotta go,” he said on the air while taking a phone call from his wife. “My wife is going into labor! I’ll see you guys later!”

In a post on social media, Grete explained that she didn’t even expect an answer from Griffin when she called.

She wrote: “All I had to say was the word ‘labor’ and this man STOPPED CALLING A BOWL GAME and took off sprinting to the car to get to the airport and get on a 4 hour flight to make it home. I love you more than life baby and I am so beyond grateful for how you love me, care for me, and what you sacrifice for me.”

“Hi guys, still pregnant,” Grete said in a video update on her Instagram Story on Sunday morning.

She continued: “Take number two: Dropping Robert off at the airport to go to another bowl game. Hopefully this time, baby will stay in… She wanted to make a dramatic entrance to 2023 but decided not to, so, we’ll see how it goes this time around.”

Griffin and Grete have been married since 2018. They already share two daughters together, Gloria and Gameya.

In the game Griffin had been covering, TCU went on to defeat Michigan, 51-45.
