  10. Interesting read: College Football Playoff meetings not about expansion. It's about college sports survival College football’s administrative heavyweights are meeting in New Orleans beginning Wednesday, and it should come as no surprise where this is headed. Revenue generation. Or, this quick summation from universities to players: You want pay for play? We’re getting more games. Not just an expansion of the College Football Playoff, which currently stands at 12 teams and could move to as many as 16. But an expansion of the championship weekend — which could evolve into a play-in week for the playoff. Forget about CFP format. This is about financial survival. One SEC athletic director, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the process, gave a rough outline of what championship weekend could look like to USA TODAY Sports. The Big Ten is also considering a similar structure. ● The top two seeds play in the conference championship game. ● The next six teams – determined by conference tiebreakers, if needed – will play in a No. 3 vs. No. 8, No. 4 vs. No. 7 and No. 5 vs. No. 6 format. ● The winners of those four games would move to the playoff. The losers would be available for at-large selections. 🤔?? The obvious wrinkle: The loser of the championship game, the No. 2 team in the league, isn’t guaranteed a spot in the College Football Playoff. College Football Playoff meetings not about expansion.

  14. Oregon Will Get an Official Visit From Newly-Offered Four-Star CB Khary Adams January was a busy month on the recruiting trail for Dan Lanning and the Oregon staff, who extended an offer to four-star 2026 Towson (Md.) Loyola Blakefield cornerback Khary Adams. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound defensive back was visited by a laundry list of big-time programs during the contact period, but a few of the big schools that stand out were Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame and USC. Safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator Chris Hampton extended the scholarship offer prior to an in-home visit with On3’s No. 18 cornerback. Hampton was joined by Lanning and Tosh Lupoi for a second January visit with Adams prior to recruiting dead period. “Oh, it means a lot,” he said of what the visit from the Ducks meant to him. “It was going well. We’re building a good relationship.” The four-star defensive back has never visited Oregon before, but the chance to be a Duck isn’t one he’s taking lightly. “It’s kind of like a dream for me and it’s good football,” he said of Oregon. The opportunity to play his college football in Eugene is appealing for a number of reasons. “To compete for a championship,” Adams said. “Great coaches and the coaches they have stability in the program. Coach Lanning was telling me he doesn’t plan to leave, he really plans to stay there.” 4-Star CB Khary Adams Plans to Officially Visit Oregon WWW.ON3.COM 2026 Towson (Md.)

  15. Ducks to Hire New WR Coach, Jadon Canady Commits to Oregon On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuck’s Max Torres and Justin Hopkins react to the expected hire of Syracuse’s Ross Douglas as Oregon’s next wide receivers coach. He joins the Ducks after spending the 2024 season in New York with head coach Fran Brown. Douglas also brings NFL experience from his time with Bill Belicheck and the New England Patriots. This hire comes amid speculation that Oregon running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples could move back to wide receivers coach, a position he oversaw on Kenny Dillingham‘s staff at Arizona State. Douglas doesn’t have an extensive track record of being an elite recruiter, but it’s not far-fetched to think that he could hit the ground running and take his profile to the next level with the Oregon and Nike brands in Eugene. Additionally, Max and J Hop dive into the commitment of former Ole Miss defensive back Jadon Canady. Canady will spend his last college season with the Ducks after playing at Ole Miss and Tulane between 2021 and 2024. His decision to come to Oregon came shortly after safety Kobe Savage decided to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft.

  21. Sources: SEC, Big Ten Building Momentum to Further Expand College Football Playoff to 14 or 16 Teams Last spring, during intense and, at times, heated negotiations over the future of the College Football Playoff, leaders of the Big Ten and SEC threatened to create their own postseason system if they were not granted a majority of CFP revenue and full authority over the playoff format. In the end, executives of the 10 FBS leagues and Notre Dame signed a memorandum of understanding handing control over to college football’s two richest conferences. Soon, they are expected to exercise that control. Within the SEC and Big Ten, momentum is building to further expand the playoff to 14 or 16 teams, assign multiple automatic qualifiers per league — as many as four each for themselves — and finalize a scheduling arrangement together that may fetch millions in additional revenue from TV partners, sources told Yahoo Sports. The playoff format change would clear the way for SEC administrators to, finally, make the long-discussed move to play nine regular-season conference games and would trigger, perhaps, all four power leagues to overhaul their conference championship weekend. These ideas and concepts, previously reported by Yahoo Sports as possibilities, are now serious agenda items within the highest governing bodies of the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC, according to officials from each of those leagues. The 11 members of the CFP Management Committee — the 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director — were contacted for this story, many of them confirming the existence of these potential ideas but declining specific comment on the matter. Final decisions are expected in the coming weeks. Sources: SEC, Big Ten building momentum to further expand College Football Playoff to 14 or 16 teams SPORTS.YAHOO.COM The conferences are pushing to assign multiple automatic qualifiers per league, with as many as four each for themselves. In short, a plethora of changes are on the table.
