The College Football Playoff is officially moving toward a major expansion, with the postseason field set to double from 12 to 24 teams beginning in 2027.
According to ESPN's Heather Dinich, the CFP and ESPN have agreed to a five-year broadcasting deal worth nearly $1.7 billion, keeping ESPN as the playoff's television partner.
The agreement also brings a major change to the college football landscape, eliminating the Power Four conference championship games, including the SEC Championship Game.
The expanded playoff will give significantly more teams a chance to compete for a national championship while dramatically changing the postseason schedule.
The CFP and ESPN had been negotiating the expansion for several weeks, and reports in October said the two sides were nearing an agreement.
