College Football will debut a new 12-team playoff this season. Here are the main points to know about it.
The new college football season kicks off today with No. 10 Florida State taking on Georgia Tech over in Ireland. Week Zero is a tradition in college football that gets everything started for the new season ahead.
But this year, some things are very different. Instead of the four-team College Football Playoff that fans have become accustomed to, we will now see a 12-team Playoff.
