Day: Big Ten deserves 4 automatic spots in CFP
Briefly

Ohio State coach Ryan Day expresses his desire for future College Football Playoff formats to guarantee at least four automatic qualifying spots for the Big Ten. Discussions among college football leaders regarding the next playoff iteration starting in 2026 have surfaced, with strong support for a 5+11 format that allows five conference champions automatic entry and 11 at-large bids. Day argues that given the strength and membership of the Big Ten, they deserve more representation, especially after their recent successes in national competition.
"We're in the Big Ten, and we have 18 teams and some of the best programs in the country. I feel like we deserve at least four automatic qualifiers."
"You would have had at least a team or two [in the CFP] from out there... So it only makes sense when we talk about how many automatic qualifiers we should have."
