What's holding up CFP expansion? SEC and Big Ten are at a potential impasse on these key issues
College Football Playoff executive director Rich Clark is waiting on the SEC and Big Ten to agree on a new playoff format just like the rest of us. (Photo) ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Deep within the Blue Ridge Mountains, the historical Biltmore Estate Hilltop Inn rises above an ocean of rolling greenery, its high stone walls and floor-to-ceiling windows all tucked between two giant peaks: Mount Mitchell and Mount Pisgah. The two mountains loom like sentries, dominating the blue skyline, unmistakable giants in this scenic land. Advertisement Inside the Biltmore, two goliaths within the landscape of college sports, the SEC and Big Ten, are at odds on the future of the industry's most valuable product: the College Football Playoff. Can these mountains be moved? Well, here this week, CFP leaders took steps toward a change to the playoff selection process — yet another chapter in what's already been a laborious journey toward potential expansion to 16 teams. The 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame's athletic director received a presentation from executive director Rich Clark and data analysts over adjustments to selection committee criteria in an effort to salvage the committee's role itself and appease both Big Ten and SEC leaders — the two entities that, according to a memorandum signed last spring, control future format decisions. Whether such a change brings the two conferences together on a format remains unclear. The two leagues must agree on a playoff model for it to move forward, Clark said on Wednesday from the Biltmore Inn, confirming what's been previously reported based on last spring's memorandum. Advertisement But, for now, they are at an impasse. The Big Ten wants a playoff where access is more like the NFL structure, determined through automatic qualifiers based on conference standings to limit the subjectivity of the selection committee. And the league also supports all four leagues — including the SEC and ACC — to play nine conference games as the Big Ten and Big 12 do. The SEC moved away from such a playoff format after its coaches publicly pushed back against it three weeks ago during the conference's spring meetings, instead now working toward a format that provides a bigger at-large pool, such as a 16-team model with five automatic qualifiers for conference champions and 11 at-large selections (5+11). However, in any 5+11 format, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, his coaches and athletic directors have been very clear: They want to see a change in the selection process to more heavily emphasize strength of schedule and strength of conference. Advertisement For the most part, that's what this set of CFP meetings centered around here this week. Clark, entering his second year as CFP executive director, presented, along with a data analyst from SportsSource Analytics, 'recommendations' on just how to adjust data points that the selection committee uses. With assistance from a Google mathematician and university math professor, the presentation included the creation of a strength-of-record metric to more heavily weight a team's strength of schedule, conference strength and, in particular, non-conference games. In fact, commissioners heard from experts who encouraged the scheduling of more crossover games among the four power leagues — a way, presumably, to provide more data points of rating the league strength. Advertisement Commissioners gave Clark and the CFP staff feedback, about potentially rewriting some language of the protocol used by selection committee members. CFP leaders will now 'mull it over,' Clark said, before the group continues to meet throughout the summer in an effort to reach an expansion decision by Dec. 1 — the drop-dead date for 2026 expansion. Commissioners declined to comment on this week's meeting. Three of the four power conference commissioners, in fact, shuffled into an elevator together here after their meeting. As reporters fired questions toward them, the elevator doors closed. The fourth power league commissioner, Big Ten's Tony Petitti, did not attend meetings in person but was in attendance virtually. Clark spoke in their absence. The same format options that have existed continue to exist, he said. 'There are a lot of options. You've heard all of the options.' While not mentioning them, they are obvious. Advertisement 1) Remain at the same 12-team format: 5 AQs + 7 at-large, which isn't necessarily the preference, Sankey said a few weeks ago. 2) Expand to a 14-team event: 5 AQs + 9 at-large, which isn't as desirable as the next option. 3) Move to a 16-team field: 5+11 or the Big Ten's AQ-heavy proposal that grants twice as many bids to each the SEC and Big Ten (4 each) as the ACC and Big 12 (2). 'The format could be a lot different in 2026 or could be the same,' Clark said. Staying at 12 for 2026 is a grim reality for some, but it's a possibility, perhaps even a probability as negotiations creep closer to the Dec. 1 deadline. If the SEC and Big Ten do not agree on a format, there may not be a change at all. Advertisement When specifically asked about the Big Ten and SEC having to both agree on format, Clark said, 'They are obligated to come to an agreement on what the format is. They will determine that between the parties and will go forward from there. 'Rushing to a bad decision is not in any of our best interest,' he said later. 'They're looking at any and all options and understanding what the pros and cons are to those things rather than rush to something that may not suit us.' Would the Big Ten really block expansion to 16 if the rest of the 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame agree on the 5+11 format? Perhaps. Illinois head coach Bret Bielema gestured toward that during an interview on Tuesday in Chicago. 'I don't think there's any way we could do a 16-team playoff if [the SEC] is not at nine [conference] games,' he said. Can these two mountains be moved? Asked that question here Wednesday, one CFP leader smiled and quipped, 'We'll get there.'

ACC Dynasty or College Football Playoff Bust?
ACC Dynasty or College Football Playoff Bust? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Clemson. The name alone sends shivers down the spine of opposing ACC coaches. After a spring that had the positive press flowing like Sweet Tea at a summer picnic, the whispers are getting louder: The Tigers aren't just back in the College Football Playoff conversation, they're ready to reclaim their throne! Advertisement Winning the whole thing for the first time since 2018 – but the third time in less than a decade under the enigmatic Dabo Swinney – is a whole different beast. But according to USA TODAY's Blake Toppmeyer, who dared to peek into his crystal ball and unveil his five national championship sleepers, Clemson stands tall with the juiciest betting odds of the bunch. Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney celebrates with the national championship trophy after beating the Alabama Crimson Tide.© Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images Clemson: The Vegas Darling (13-to-1 Odds!) Seriously, what's not to love about these Tigers? They're practically bursting at the seams with returning talent, making them the undisputed kings of the ACC jungle. Much like their Week 1 nemesis, LSU, Clemson boasts a seasoned gunslinger in Cade Klubnik and a receiving corps that could give opposing defensive coordinators nightmares for weeks. Advertisement And speaking of Week 1, mark your calendars, folks! Clemson hosts LSU in a "prove-it" game that could set the tone for the entire season. The Tigers' roster is stacked with future NFL draft picks, including defensive line monsters Peter Woods and T.J. Parker. Their offensive line? Seasoned, solid, and ready to pave the way. And in a move that sent shockwaves through the college football world – gasp! – Dabo Swinney actually dipped into the transfer portal, adding three crucial pieces to bolster their two-deep. The path to the playoff from the ACC is clearer than a Carolina blue sky. All the pieces are there. The hype is real. TRENDING NOW ON ESPN! CLEMSON UFL STANDOUT INKS DEAL WITH NFL TEAM! TIGERS SHORE UP COACHING STAFF WITH LATEST HIRE! NATIONAL BASEBALL ANALYST TAGS CLEMSON ACE AS POTENTIAL FIRST-ROUNDER! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! The LSU Factor (20-1 Odds!) That Week 1 opponent, Brian Kelly's LSU Tigers, aren't exactly slouches either. They also crashed Toppmeyer's exclusive five-team list. Kelly, it seems, has mastered the donor game this offseason, and it's paid off handsomely in their transfer haul. Nobody, and we mean nobody, secured a better portal class than Baton Rouge. They snagged defensive line studs like Patrick Payton (Florida State) and Jack Pyburn (Florida), fortifying a defense that's been shakier than a Louisiana swamp bridge for years. Advertisement Couple that defensive infusion with the proven arm of Garrett Nussmeier and a wide receiver room brimming with talent, and it's easy to see why Kelly is boldly proclaiming this as his finest LSU roster yet. Sure, their schedule is littered with more land mines than a Call of Duty map, but on sheer talent alone, LSU is better positioned for a national title run than they've been in years. So, buckle up, college football fanatics! Week 1 is going to be an absolute slugfest, and the implications for the College Football Playoff race are massive. Can Clemson live up to the hype and start their national title quest with a bang, or will LSU spoil the party and prove they're the true championship sleeper? You won't want to miss a single snap!

Predators expect captain Roman Josi back for camp despite health diagnosis
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville captain Roman Josi is expected at training camp in September after the Predators said Wednesday the defenseman was diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome or POTS late last season. 'He has been undergoing treatment since that diagnosis and is progressing exceptionally well,' general manager Barry Trotz said in a statement. 'We concur with Roman that with continued management and treatment, he can return to the ice for the 2025-26 season and continue with his elite hockey career." Advertisement The 2020 Norris Trophy winner and three-time All-Star was limited to 53 games this season by a concussion. His last game was Feb. 25 against now two-time Stanley Cup champion Florida when he didn't return after driven hard into the end boards by Sam Bennett midway through the second period. POTS doesn't have a cure but can be treated. Its symptoms include a fast heart rate, dizziness and fatigue. Josi, who turned 35 at the start of June, was among the first six players selected Monday to Switzerland's Olympic roster for the 2026 Winter Games in Italy. The captain signed an eight-year $72 million contract in 2019 through the 2027-28 season. He has played 962 games with 190 goals and 534 assists. Advertisement Trade time The Predators also announced they have acquired forward Erik Haula from New Jersey for defenseman Jeremy Hanzel and a fourth-round pick in next week's draft. This brings Haula back for a second stint with Nashville. A seventh-round pick by Minnesota in 2009, Haula has played 759 games with the Wild, Vegas, Carolina, Florida, Nashville, Boston and New Jersey. Now 34, Haula played 69 games for the Devils this season with 21 points and 39 penalty minutes. The 5-foot-11, 191-pound forward averaged 14 minutes, 42 seconds of ice time per game. He also had 101 hits and blocked 35 shots. The Predators still have nine selections in the 2025 NHL draft starting June 27, including three in the first round. ___ AP NHL:
