The NFL league office is reportedly discontent with the new NCAA College Football Playoff schedule.
Earlier this week, the CFP unanimously approved a new 12-team postseason format that is similar to the previous NFL 12-team playoff tournament structure. The four highest-ranked conference champions will get a first-round bye, with the No. 5 to No. 12 ranked teams squaring off in the opening round.
According to a report from John Ourand of Puck News (h/t Andrew Bucholtz of Awful Announcing), NFL officials “were not happy” when they learned about the new CFP schedule.
This is because the NFL traditionally likes to schedule regular season games on Saturday late in the year, and the expanded CFP playoff format means that Roger Goodell and company will now face immense ratings competition:
Multiple sources have told me that executives in the league office were not happy about C.F.P.’s chutzpah in scheduling games that day, and they have been left scratching their heads as to why C.F.P. would encroach on their veritable turf.“
Ourand added that executives believe this won’t stop the NFL from scheduling games on Saturday, Dec. 21 anyway. Ourand also heard from a source that the NFL was confused by the CFP’s decision since they have, “worked with college football on scheduling issues for decades, and the two organizations have an age-old détente in place that lets them carve up fall weekends.”
The old College Football Playoff format had the top four ranked teams (1 to 4 and 2 vs. 3) square off in the postseason. After years of backlash, the NCAA is finally expanding the format that will ensure the top-of-the-top teams all get their shot at a championship.
