Can confirm this … will give them time to react to another Selection Day!
ESPN and the CFP are finalizing an extension of the network’s Dec. 1 format deadline, sources tell @YahooSports. This would give commissioners more time (at least thru January) to attempt to agree on a new playoff format for 2026. Commissioners have been at an impasse on format.
