Inside the College Football Playoff meeting room, at a resort hotel in the posh community of Las Colinas, the industry’s most powerful leaders played a game: a bracket game. Gathered around a table, the FBS commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director projected a 12-team playoff bracket by applying the 2022 rankings.

Among the attendees was new Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gold, who was promoted by Oregon State and Washington State. A source confirmed to CBS Sports that the Pac-12 is contractually mandated to have a seat and vote on the management committee through the end of the 2025 contract. Starting in 2026, the board will shrink to 10 total votes.

Yahoo Sports national columnist Dan Wetzel is joined by senior college football reporter Ross Dellenger and Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde to discuss several potential problems revolving around the forthcoming expansion of the College Football Playoff format.
