The College Football Playoff (CFP) has expanded to 12 teams, providing a more inclusive postseason tournament and resolving past controversies about team exclusions. Former Alabama coach Nick Saban, now an ESPN analyst, made his playoff predictions on 'College GameDay,' projecting Georgia, Ohio State, Florida State, and Utah as top seeds. He also highlighted Memphis State as a top Group of Five team and Georgia Tech as a sleeper pick in the ACC. Saban's predictions stirred interest, especially his projection of LSU and his exclusion of reigning champions Michigan due to significant team changes. The expanded playoff and realigned conferences promise more competitive and exciting matchups this season.
