College football’s calendar is broken — here’s how coaches want to fix itLanning is among the coaches who have expressed ideas about how to fix the calendar to help the sport find even more eyeballs, better team performances and a more pragmatic schedule for coaches in 2026 and beyond. He’s certainly not alone in his complaints about the current system, either. Talk to any head coach in college football right now, and you’ll get an earful. Some are most frustrated by the dates of the transfer portal window. Others cannot stand how the early signing period is set up. Still others advocate for more drastic changes to the entire offseason structure, pushing to duplicate organized team activities (OTAs) modeled by the NFL.

They are expected to discuss two models: a 16-team field that includes five conference champions and 11 at-large teams, and another format with 24 teams. Petitti and Sankey have the bulk of control over the playoff's format in 2026 and beyond, an agreement the other commissioners and Bevacqua signed off on in 2024 during the last contract negotiations with ESPN. If the Big Ten and SEC leaders can't come to an agreement by the deadline, the playoff will remain at 12 teams. The field will now guarantee the Power 4 conference champions spots, along with the highest-ranked conference champion from the Group of 6, which now includes the revamped Pac-12.

Why Oregon Ducks fans shouldn't panic over numerous DL transfers Which would you rather have: A starting defensive line that is experienced and has proven that it can be among the most productive and dominant in the nation, or a starting defensive line that consists of promising talent but little experience? The answer seems pretty obvious to me. Sure, the Ducks lost a handful of guys who would have played valuable roles on next year's team, and replacing them won't be easy. But they also got a foursome of potential first and second-round picks to agree to come back for one more year. That's not easy to do, and the upside that it brings to this defense is immeasurable.
