TNT will televise two first-round College Football Playoff games and will add two quarterfinal games in 2026.
The Big Ten’s presidents approved the House v. NCAA settlement, joining the ACC, the Big 12 and the NCAA Board of Governors.
The Rutgers at USC game will kick off at 8 p.m. local (11 p.m. Eastern) on Fox on Friday, Oct. 25 (Presumably after a World Series game).
Now on to your questions:
How many teams can enter the season realistically expecting to compete for a College Football Playoff berth?
Which Group of 5 head coach should be the next called up to a power conference job?
Could three teams from either the ACC or Big 12 make the CFP?

Yesterday's Big Mountain podcast w/@Genetics56 proves Greg Flugaur still ..."rides the short bus."

[@joea4133]

When you named the teams that realistically could dream of making the CFP, you said 27 from P4, you forgot ND.
I would say they have a very, very good chance of making it.

[@kevinbond8966]

With the schedule they have I would say they have the best chance of any team in the country.

I’m calling it now Georgia goes undefeated

Colorado ain’t winning no Big 12 😂😂😂😂
