I'd take that bet. The current contract expires after the 2025 season. If they don't amend the current contract (which they could) it will expand beyond 4 for the 2026 season. Book it, Danno.

That's 10 years. Big 12 as we know it will cease to exist by then

Moot point. All I said was that the playoff will expand. Next.

How? Why?

You think the SEC is going to give up its championship game to help the bignot12

You really think the Big 10 is gonna suffer having Rutgers and Maryland and help out Bowlsby

You think Larry Scott is gonna help a conference he poached god awful Colorado from

Wut?

8 may happen but it won't be next year or soon

< 5 years.

Under the old system, Ohio State would not have made the two team championship game. Expanding to 8 teams will generate even more excitement and revenue while opening up the possibilities of more upsets.

The reason that Ohio State got in over Baylor & TCU is because "upsets" cost revenue "loses" The 4 team playoff helps the committee control that revenue loss effect. If TCU gets in over Ohio State, that would amount to hundreds of millions if not a kool billion $ of revenues lost....TCU doesn't have the tradition or numbers of a fanbase to Warrant playoff consideration. Remember, it's ALL ABOUT &.....NOT gonna happen! Upsets are no bueno!

Whatever you were saying after the bold portion and the bold portion itself had nothing to do with it. Ohio State played 13 games and in game 13, they beat the #13 in the country soundly. TCU played 12 games and in game 12 beat a 2-9 Iowa State team.

Has EVERYTHING to do with it! They just use the aforementioned intangibles to justify omitting schools that may have certain criteria, but just don't fit the bill.......Baylor & TCU don't have the pinache together to Warrant championship slot,especially when there are schools with rich tradition and history like tOSU....it's NO contendre'. Revenue potential will always be looked @ in that scenario, as long as they (committee) can justify a leapfrog effect like this, it will happen every time....they were just able to explain it....I told TCU fans weeks beforehand that they will NOT see the championship game!

2026 at the latest.

Just let all conference champs in.

The only problem with that is the SEC will complain because they want all 4 spots to be SEC schools

Haves and have nots.

Actually if either the SEC or the B1G doesn't make the playoffs (like almost happened this past year), consideration will get serious to expand playoffs. If it were to happen twice to either of those conferences, expansion would happen pretty quickly.

Relative to the B12, they may expand to 12 schools in the next 4-6 years but it will because UT decides to go elsewhere, probably the PAC - and that will leave the B12 as the BE chapter 2 causing OU to move too. Then the P5 will become the P4 - the long term goal all along.

TCU just picked up the former Texas A&M starting QB, Kenny Hill. Excellent move by Patterson. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...ing-to-tcu
