The 2023-24 College Football Playoff will begin on Monday, January 1, 2024.
The beginning of the New Year will mark the final time that the CFP will feature a four-team bracket. Next year, the CFP field will expand to 12 teams for the 2024-25 season.
After back-to-back national titles, Georgia failed to make the College Football Playoff, meaning a new champion will be crowned in 2024.

Despite its 13-0 record, Washington will come into the College Football Playoff as four-point underdogs.
The Huskies are no stranger to being disrespected by the oddsmakers. Washington was 9.5-point underdog in the PAC-12 Championship Game versus Oregon but still clawed its way to an impressive 34-31 victory.

A New College Football National Championship Will Be Crowned
A new national champion will be crowned in 2024.
After winning back-to-back national titles, Georgia narrowly missed out on the College Football Playoff following a loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship.
Despite entering the CFP semifinal as an underdog, the Crimson Tide are among the favorites to win the national. At BetOnline, Alabama is tied with Michigan for the best odds to win it all at +200, followed by Texas at +250 and Washington at +550.
Washington has had the longest championship drought of any team in the College Football Playoff. The Huskies last won the national title in 1991. Meanwhile, Texas hasn’t won since Vince Young led the Longhorns to the national championship in 2005.
