College football's landscape has been dramatically altered by new television deals, an expanded playoff, and the impact of NIL and the transfer portal, provoking ongoing reshuffling among conferences. The traditional Power 5 has transformed into a Power 4, with teams scrambling for better financial positions and playoff prospects.
The ACC, now with 17 teams, is experiencing instability as key members like Florida State and Clemson pursue exits, signaling potential ongoing shifts in college football's dynamic.

As Maine finds itself grappling with the new 12-team playoff format, understanding the restructured conferences is increasingly essential, particularly as the SEC continues to grow its influence.
