OFP: CFB - 12-Team Playoff & Bowl Season Format

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The 12-team playoff will function similarly to the previous 4-team format.


➡️ The main change is the addition of more “to-be-determined” games — expanding from one National Championship game to seven total playoff games across rounds 2–4.

You’ll still have full control over how you want to structure your pool:

  • Include all bowl games (including playoff matchups) on one pick sheet, or only include the playoff games.

  • Set your deadline at any point — before the first playoff game, the final, or anywhere in between.

📌 Reminder: Picks can be made or changed until the contest deadline passes and a game kicks off — just like before.
