**College Football Playoff Overhauls Format Following Flaws Revealed in Inaugural 12-Team Tournament**
In a shocking turn of events, the College Football Playoff (CFP) committee has announced a complete overhaul of its newly minted 12-team tournament format, following a series of catastrophic blunders that left fans scratching their heads and wondering if they accidentally tuned into a game of “Musical Chairs” instead of college football.
The inaugural tournament, which was supposed to be a celebration of college football’s finest, quickly devolved into chaos when the selection committee mistakenly invited the entire marching band from the University of Southern California instead of the actual football team. “We thought they were the best representation of school spirit,” said committee chairperson, Chuck “The Confused” Thompson. “Turns out, they can’t tackle worth a lick.”
In response to the debacle, the CFP has decided to implement a new format that includes a “Survivor”-style elimination round, where teams will compete in challenges like dodgeball and karaoke. “We believe this will truly test the mettle of our athletes,” said new CFP spokesperson, Linda “The Laughing Stock” Johnson. “Plus, who wouldn’t want to see Nick Saban belt out ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’?”
Additionally, the committee has proposed a “Wildcard” entry for the team that can best perform a TikTok dance challenge. “We’re just trying to keep up with the kids,” said Thompson. “If we can’t get them to watch, we might as well make it entertaining.”
Critics have been quick to voice their concerns. “This is college football, not a reality show!” exclaimed former coach and current couch potato, Bob “I Miss the Old Days” McGee. “Next thing you know, they’ll be voting teams off the island!”
As the CFP prepares for its next season, one thing is clear: the only thing more unpredictable than the tournament format is the committee’s ability to make a decision that doesn’t involve a marching band. Stay tuned for more updates, and remember, if you can’t beat ‘em, just make them dance!
