The loss of substantial leverage in College Football Playoff negotiations could stem from weak performances by lesser Power Four teams, particularly if Arizona State fails against Texas.
If Arizona State, the last team from the Big 12 in the playoffs, suffers a heavy defeat, it could threaten the conference's standing in future playoff discussions.
Discussions for the new playoff format will shape the future of College Football, potentially favoring power conferences like the SEC and Big Ten over the others.
The evolving playoff format after next season could favor three or four automatic bids each to the SEC and Big Ten, leaving the ACC and Big 12 at a disadvantage.
