We now know part of the future College Football Playoff scheduling format. According to The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach, the initial playoff first round games will occur on the weekend, with one game played Friday night and the other three on Saturday the next day.

 

However, with the added teams and lengthened playoffs, the CFP semifinals now line up with the NFL’s wildcard weekend. So, per Auerbach, those semifinal games will be moved to weeknight slots to avoid NFL competition.

 

The details are in the article below...

    Thus the need to shorten the regular season. 

     

    The recent 3 changes to the timing of a game, no clock stoppage after 1st downs, etc., is a good start but not good enough.

     

    Under this format, playoff teams will play in a MAC-like time frame.
