College Football Playoff Expansion: USC and UCLA Rethink Rivalry Strategies The College Football Playoff is set to expand, potentially to twenty-four teams, which could significantly impact rivalry games. USC and UCLA may need to adjust their schedules to maintain the significance of their rivalry matchups. The proposed change involves moving their game up a week, allowing them to rest star players in the final, less significant game of the season and save their full strength for the playoff.
