US EditionOhio State's Ryan Day makes case for Big Ten deserving 'at least four' automatic College Football Playoff bids
- Ohio State head coach Ryan Day argued on June 5, 2025, in Columbus that the Big Ten deserves at least four guaranteed College Football Playoff bids to reflect its strength and size.
- This push follows last season's inaugural 12-team CFP in which four Big Ten teams, including Ohio State, made the playoffs and Ohio State won the national championship amid an expanded 18-team conference.
- Day highlighted that with additions like Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA, the Big Ten now has 18 quality programs that justify multiple automatic spots to encourage tougher schedules and maintain competitive nonconference matchups.
- He expressed that the Big Ten should be guaranteed a minimum of four automatic playoff spots, mentioning a proposal that includes four guaranteed bids each for the Big Ten and SEC, along with additional slots for the Big 12, ACC, Group of Five, and at-large teams.
- Day’s advocacy suggests that a CFP format with more automatic qualifiers could stabilize scheduling incentives and better represent the Big Ten, especially as a 16-team playoff expansion may start in 2026.
