Rece Davis Proposes The Idea Of 16-Team College Football Playoff

The 12-team College Football Playoff will officially begin this upcoming season, and discussions on expanding beyond twelve teams have already begun.

Last week, reports began to surface of a 14-team playoff starting in 2026, with automatic qualifiers based on conferences.

Now, ESPN's Rece Davis is proposing at 16-team playoff. Per Athlon Sports:

The proposed larger field will allow for more games to be played on-campus.

“Since we have expanded beyond the very small playoff, I would prefer just going ahead and going to 16, playing the first two rounds on campus, and eliminating conference championship games,” Davis said. “Each of these mega conferences would play a 10-game schedule in-conference and then not required but strongly encouraged to play another power team from the outside. Whether that’s crossover SEC/Big Ten or ACC, Big 12, whatever.”
