Commissioner Brett Yormark made a bold prediction regarding the College Football Playoff while speaking at Big 12 media days. After only sending the Arizona State Sun Devils last year, Yormark expects the Big 12 to have multiple CFP bids in 2025.

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark went all in on the “5+11” proposed model for the College Football Playoff on the first day of media days in Texas.

Yormark said he expects ACC commissioner Jim Phillips to emphasize the same pro-5+11 stance when his conference starts its media days later this month. He also said to ESPN he is "relatively confident" the playoff will expand to 16 teams when its new media rights contract begins in the 2026 season.
