Any adjustments to the College Football Playoff for next season, including a potential tweak in the way byes are awarded, would have to take place later this year, probably in the spring, the leaders of the playoff said.

The College Football Playoff has been narrowed down to two teams who survived the first-ever 12-team format and are ready to compete for a national championship. Quarterback Will Howard and the Ohio State Buckeyes will face quarterback Riley Leonard and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Monday night for the chance to be crowned kings of college football.
