SEC , Big Ten, Big 12, ACC and Big 12 could present ideas for future playoff format.

Big Ten and SEC have threatened to create their own postseason system if they were not granted a majority of CFP revenue and full authority over the playoff system.

Big 12 and ACC are not in support of a playoff format with so many automatic qualifiers designated for the SEC and Big Ten.

The CFP is expected to extend its six-year deal with ESPN to 2026-31 .

ESPN is paying $1.3 billion annually to the CFP for the rights to broadcast the playoff.

The SEC and Big Ten each receive 29% of the playoff's revenue, the ACC gets 17.1% .

Conference championship games likely become less valuable, and a reimagined championship weekend may feature conference play-in games for the automatic berths.

Conference championship weekend could fetch millions more in additional revenue from television partners.

The current college landscape is under historic levels of financial stress.
