At the Big 12 spring meetings, Commissioner Brett Yormark expressed robust support for the proposed 5+11 College Football Playoff model, which aims to include the top five conference champions automatically and 11 at-large teams. Yormark highlighted the importance of fairness as the Big Ten and SEC dominate discussions about playoff structures. Despite the potential advantages of another model that could secure playoff spots for the Big 12 and ACC, Yormark affirmed the league's preference for earning playoff opportunities through competition, underscoring the broader benefits to college football as a whole.
Yormark emphasized that while the Big Ten and SEC lead discussions, they have a responsibility to prioritize college football as a whole, not just their interests.
Yormark indicated that the Big 12 values earning playoff spots through competition rather than being guaranteed spots, underlining their commitment to meritocracy.
