The College Football Playoff will be expanding from its four-team format to 12 teams in 2024, but Florida State wishes it would have happened this year. The Seminoles, champions of the ACC and owners of a 13-0 record were passed over in the final College Football Playoff rankings by 12-1 SEC champion Alabama, fueling the fire for the incoming college football playoff field to be expanded sooner rather than later.
Of course, that won’t be happening. But we can still take a look at how the 12-team College Football Playoff would have looked this season. As for Penn State, the Nittany Lions would have been locked in a rematch against one of the teams it lost to in the first round.
Here is what the 12-team College Football Playoff would have looked like this season if it was in play.
