Second-tier college football programs are pushing for the creation of a second College Football Playoff tournament, according to reports emerging this week. The proposal reflects growing frustration among schools outside the power conferences who feel excluded from the current four-team playoff format. Advocates argue that a separate postseason structure would provide more equitable access to national championship opportunities for programs in Group of Five conferences and independent schools. Details regarding the format, selection criteria, and timeline remain under discussion, but the movement signals a potential shift in the landscape of college football postseason competition.
