Similar Stories to With College Football Playoff’s Expansion To 12 Teams, Cu Plus Region’s Mountain West Schools Have Path To Get In The Bracket on Bing News

When it comes to the Rocky Mountain region’s teams in the new era of college football’s postseason, the relentlessly optimistic Lloyd Christmas put it best: So you’re telling me there’s a chance. The College Football Playoff is expanding from four to 12 teams this season — and opening new doors in the process. Now, a stellar campaign for CU could culminate in a CFP berth, even if they don’t win the Big 12 title in their first year back in the conference. And for the rest of the region’s FBS schools in the Mountain West — CSU, Wyoming and Air Force — it means there’s finally a tangible path to the playoff with the highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion guaranteed a spot. “The expansion is really the best thing that’s ever happened to Group of 5 schools,” explained The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel, who has covered college football for two decades.
