College football is having its Last Dance moment

This weekend, the top college football teams competed in games across America to determine conference championships, bragging rights, and which four teams will play in this year’s playoff, capping off a 2023 regular season that marks the end of an era in many ways.

Here’s what’s changing across the college football landscape starting next year:

  • The Pac-12 is losing 10 of its 12 members, with four going to the Big Ten, four to the Big-12, and two to the ACC. The two remaining “Pac-2” schools – Oregon St. and Washington St. – will play most of their football games against the Mountain West Conference next season.
  • The SEC is doing its best big-game hunter impression and poaching Texas and Oklahoma from the Big-12.
  • The College Football Playoff is expanding from four teams to 12, with the top-four receiving a first-round bye and the six highest-ranked conference champions receiving automatic bids.

🏈 Playoffs?? You kidding me?!... Yesterday afternoon, the CFP Committee revealed its four playoff teams for the 2024 edition: No. 1 Michigan vs. No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl, and No. 2 Washington vs. No. 3 Texas in the Sugar Bowl.

No. 5 Florida State, who went undefeated and won the ACC title but was left out of the playoffs after star QB Jordan Travis suffered a broken leg late in the season, is matched up with No. 6 Georgia in the Orange Bowl.
