Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said the league will seek a replacement event for any conference title games that could be lost if the College Football Playoff (CFP) expands.
The announcement comes amid discussions about expanding the CFP to include more teams, a move that could eliminate or reduce the need for traditional conference championship games.
Yormark explained that the Big 12 would “find a new event to replace any lost conference title games should they be casualties of an expanded College Football Playoff.”
While the commissioner's statement does not detail what form the replacement might take, it signals the conference’s intent to preserve a marquee postseason matchup for its teams.
The Big 12’s approach reflects broader uncertainty in college football about how expanded playoffs will reshape conference championships and postseason scheduling.
