The College Football Playoff (CFP) is a four-team, single-elimination tournament that determines the national champion of college football in the United States. The CFP was founded in 2014, replacing the previous Bowl Championship Series (BCS). The 2025 CFP is scheduled to be played on January 12 and 19, 2026.
The CFP has been a controversial topic since its inception. Critics argue that it is unfair to the teams that do not make the playoff, and that it gives too much power to the selection committee. Supporters of the CFP argue that it creates more excitement and drama, and that it gives the best teams a chance to play for the national championship. Predicting the outcome of the CFP is a difficult task, but there are a few teams that are considered to be the favorites.
