The College Football Playoff committee announced a new format for the upcoming 12-team playoff. After the Pac-12 dissolved, the board decided to decrease the number of automatic bids to align with the number of Power 5 conferences. One program that got shafted was Notre Dame due to its independent status.

The College Football Playoff will look very different in 2024. 12 teams will now head compete for the national championship, but the details were still being worked out. The original plan that was put in place was based on the Pac-12 being a Power 5 conference. That conference no longer exists. The CFP board approved a new format today that makes it more fair to all of the teams.

The Michigan Wolverines are looking to keep their dominance of the Big Ten going in 2024. They will have to do it without a lot of their coaching staff from last year. Jim Harbaugh left for the NFL, and many coordinators went with him. One coaching position that has been open for a while is the linebacker’s coach. Chris Partridge was fired in November, and he was never replaced. New head coach Sherrone Moore hired former Tennessee Volunteers coach Brian Jean-Mary to be the next linebackers coach.
