College football expansion typically refers to the process of increasing the number of teams, conferences, or playoff spots in the world of college football. This expansion can take several forms and can impact various aspects of the sport. Here are some common ways in which college football expansion can occur:

Conference Realignment: Conference expansion and realignment involve colleges and universities switching conferences to better align with their competitive and financial interests. This can lead to changes in the membership of various conferences and may affect the geographic distribution of teams.

Playoff Expansion: One of the most notable forms of college football expansion is the expansion of the College Football Playoff (CFP). The CFP is a postseason tournament that determines the national champion of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Expanding the playoff typically involves increasing the number of teams that qualify for the playoff, allowing more schools to compete for the national championship.

Team Additions: Some universities may decide to add football programs to their athletic departments, increasing the overall number of college football teams. This can provide more opportunities for student-athletes and generate additional revenue for the school.

Bowl Games: Expansion of bowl games refers to the creation of new bowl games or the inclusion of more teams in existing bowl games. This can provide additional postseason opportunities for college football teams and help showcase more schools to a national audience.

Divisional Changes: Some expansion efforts involve changes to the structure of college football divisions. For example, the creation of a new division or the reorganization of existing divisions can impact how teams compete and qualify for postseason play.
