Expanded College Football Playoff Begins 2024 Season

The 2024 college football season is set to introduce significant changes, including the highly anticipated 12-team College Football Playoff format, which will feature the five highest-ranked conference champions and the next seven best teams. This season will also see traditional rivalries such as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma continue, albeit under the Southeastern Conference banner. Predictions indicate that unranked teams like Boise State, Virginia Tech, and Iowa State may break into the rankings by season's end, while teams such as Michigan could fall out of the Top 25. Meanwhile, the WNBA playoffs are approaching, with the New York Liberty leading the league and favored to contend for the championship, closely followed by the Las Vegas Aces. A’ja Wilson of the Aces is a strong contender for the MVP award, while rookie Caitlin Clark is making waves with her performance for the Indiana Fever. These developments highlight a dynamic landscape in both college football and women's basketball as fans anticipate an exciting season ahead.
