The ACC and Big 12 have endorsed a proposal to expand the College Football Playoff from four to 24 teams, backing a plan that would broaden access across conferences and create a larger postseason structure. Their support signals growing momentum toward a major revenue and viewership shift for college football, with implications for TV deals, conference bargaining power and postseason scheduling.

(Miguel Martinez/AJC) Week 0 is cool and all … but around these parts, things really get going when Georgia Tech hosts Coach Prime and Colorado on Thursday night.

Connor Riley, DawgNation: “Georgia finishes the regular season undefeated. This is an easier Georgia schedule than we’ve seen in recent years.
