Expanded College Football Playoff: A New Era of Opportunity for Non-Power Five Teams
Expanded College Football Playoff: A New Era of Opportunity for Non-Power Five Teams
The expansion of the College Football Playoff to 12 teams starting in 2024 marks a significant shift in the sport. With more teams having a shot at the title, the playoff will no longer be the exclusive domain of perennial powerhouses like Alabama, Georgia, or Clemson. Instead, we could see non-Power Five programs like Tulane, UCF, or Cincinnati make a run for the championship.
The new system gives hope to programs outside the traditional elite, but it also increases the pressure on Power Five teams to perform consistently throughout the season. Conference championships will become more important than ever as automatic bids are now on the line. As college football enters this new era, the expanded playoff promises a broader competition and a chance for more schools to make history.

The first performance issue rarely appears in a demo. It shows up later, when usage spikes, when a feature ships faster than expected, or when an integration behaves differently under real load. For Austin teams building mobile products in 2026, performance is no longer a late-stage optimization task. It is a design constraint from day one.
