Coaches push for expanded CFP and end to conference title games

College football coaches, via the AFCA, voted to recommend maximum CFP expansion (potentially up to 24 teams), eliminating conference championship games and ending the season in early January with the Army–Navy game kept in an exclusive window. While the AFCA has not publicly finalized its stance, the Big Ten favors a 24-team bracket and the SEC has backed a 16-team '5+11' format, and the talk could reshape postseason byes and scheduling as the 12-team format continues through 2026 amid calendar pressures and burnout concerns.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft faced an awkward question about Belichick's job security, but did not directly respond.

"2023 Army-Navy Game: Historic Rivalry Moves to New England with Bill Belichick and Expert Predictions"

The annual Army-Navy football game, a historic rivalry, will be played in New England for the first time in its history. The 2023 game will take place at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, marking the eighth state to host the matchup. The change in location gives Army a slight advantage, as the stadium is closer to West Point. The move to Massachusetts coincides with significant historical anniversaries and the rich military history of the region. The game will rotate between different NFL team stadiums until it returns to Philadelphia in 2027.
