Power Four conference championships will cease next year as the College Football Playoff expands to 24 teams, according to a report from SB Nation.
The change marks a significant restructuring of college football's postseason format. The expansion to a 24-team playoff field will eliminate the traditional conference championship games for the Power Four conferences.
