Why the 5+11 Playoff Format Will Kill the Big 12 & ACC | HOF Rant

@HOF_CFB
College Football Playoff chaos is here — and the Big 12 and ACC are volunteering for irrelevance.

In this fiery HOF College Football breakdown, Jason Watkins exposes the insanity of the proposed 5+11 CFP format starting in 2026 — a model that gives 5 auto-bids to conference champions and 11 at-large selections controlled by a biased committee favoring the SEC and Big Ten.

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark says he’s fine with it. Joel Klatt says it “makes him want to throw up.” Jason and Nathan "Bomber" Brown already warned you on The Late Shift — and now the national media’s catching on.

Why are the Big 12 and ACC signing off on a system that guarantees fewer bids, weaker branding, and less money… all while the SEC and Big Ten build a monopoly on playoff access, revenue, and recruits?

We break down why the 4-4-2-2-1 model is the only format that respects the entire Power Four, and how this 5+11 disaster could doom half the sport before the 16-team playoff even begins.

If you're a fan of Florida State, Clemson, Kansas State, Utah, BYU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech or any Big 12 or ACC team — this video is for you.
