I’m not predicting anything but we won’t hear anything until it’s decided

Nothing will be happening until after at least 2024.

1 There's no point proceeding until after Alston is settled.

2. There's no point in proceeding until the Big 10, SEC, Big 12, and PAC TV contracts have been formalized which means until after any possibility of conference expansion has passed. Any additions to any of the present P5 could alter conference structures and thereby impact any playoff structure changes.

3. The CFP contract is up after the 2025-6 season so why do anything until then?

4. If anything changes between now and then it will be in the priorities used to select the 4 team field. Delany is pushing for more emphasis on conference championships. If we have any change between now and 2025-6 it will be procedural and not structural.

That sums it up nicely.

Nothing is going to change until the new media contracts are settled. Why change only to have to change again in a couple of years?

Once those contracts are set and any realignment takes place, only then could there be discussions about expansion. Even then I doubt it because if what most think will happen happens (the P4), there will be no push to change except from the G5 which will be summarily dismissed by the new P4. Four power conferences, four seats at the table. Why would they change?
