  • However, there is a major scheduling conflict with the NFL that has concerned many football fans. The two aforementioned Saturday contests are during the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff.

The article from Athlon Sports discusses the scheduling conflict between the NFL and the College Football Playoff (CFP) that has fans concerned.

The article highlights the frustration among college football enthusiasts and the potential long-term impact on the sport's visibility and appeal, especially with the NFL's growing dominance in scheduling and viewership.
