Big 12 May Only Get ONE Team in College Football Playoff: BYU, Iowa State, Kansas State Battle On
Показать описание
With the College Football Playoff (CFP) expanding to a 12-team format, there are valid concerns that the structure could disproportionately favor the SEC and Big Ten over conferences like the Big 12. The new format increases the number of spots, but the larger pool may still skew towards the conferences with the most media visibility, established powerhouse programs, and high-profile matchups. Given the SEC and Big Ten’s reputation, national brand power, and recent dominance in CFP rankings, it’s likely these conferences will see multiple teams included year after year.
One key factor favoring the SEC and Big Ten is their strength of schedule. Teams from these conferences frequently play in high-profile, high-stakes games, which carry significant weight in rankings. Even if a Big Ten or SEC team loses a game, the perception of a tougher schedule may work in their favor, positioning them above similarly successful teams from the Big 12. Additionally, SEC and Big Ten programs have substantial media influence, increasing their visibility and favorability in the eyes of the CFP selection committee.
The Big 12, while highly competitive, often lacks the same level of national brand prestige for many of its programs. Even with new members like BYU, Utah, and Cincinnati, it may still be more challenging for the Big 12 to secure multiple CFP berths consistently. However, the Big 12’s unpredictable nature could still work in its favor if teams have strong seasons and earn enough national recognition. Yet, the expanded CFP will likely see the SEC and Big Ten with easier pathways to secure multiple berths, creating an ongoing challenge for Big 12 teams aiming to compete at the highest level.
