Semifinal matchups, New Year’s Six dates, times and more

In the final year of a four-team field, the College Football Playoff slate is set for 2023-24. Top-ranked Georgia’s loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship game threw things into chaos, and in the end that win helped Bama secure the fourth spot in the playoff field, more than somewhat controversially over undefeated Florida State (who will take on Georgia in the Orange Bowl).

Starting in the 2024-25 season, the CFP will expand to a 12-team format, with the six highest-ranked conference champions automatically in the field and the other six squads drawn from the highest-ranked remaining teams. It’s just one of the major changes coming to college football next year, alongside massive conference re-alignment.
