College Football Playoff is a privately owned entity headquartered in the United States. Founded in 2014, it employs approximately 60 individuals, with its main product being contact sports. The company operates as an annual postseason knockout tournament designed to determine a national champion for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Football Bowl Subdivision in the US.
On August 6, 2026, the College Football Playoff (CFP) announced a change in its selection committee protocol, potentially allowing the ninth-ranked team to miss the 12-team playoff bracket, a move favoring Power 4 conferences and Notre Dame. Previously, on August 4, the CFP Management Committee appointed App State athletic director Doug Gillin to the CFP Selection Committee, an announcement made by executive director Rich Clark. Earlier, on June 3, the CFP, ESPN, and TNT Sports released the kick times and broadcast assignments for the 2026-27 CFP season. This marked the inaugural year of ESPN's expanded broadcast package, which includes five games sublicensed to TNT Sports. This follows discussions in May regarding the playoff's future format, with Kirby Smart noting on May 27 that most coaches would favor expanding the playoff to 24 teams. On May 26, it was clarified that the College Football Playoff is set to remain a 12-team format for 2026, even as the Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC advocated for an expansion to 24 teams.
