ESPN's Heather Dinich has stated that the format of the College Football Playoff (CFP) is not likely to change for the 2025 season.
Criticism has arisen regarding the current seeding format, particularly about how teams are selected, with automatic bids for the top five-ranked conference champions.
Changes to the format would require unanimous agreement from all parties involved in the CFP, including Group of Five commissioners.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has expressed an interest in adapting the playoff format, highlighting the need for a competitive and fair structure.
Currently, the 12-team playoff format is under contract solely for 2024 and 2025, with the possibility for revisions starting in the 2026 season.
