The road to the national college champion in the NCAA circuit is underway, which will be defined in the game for the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship. It is an unusual date for what we knew as the collegiate championship, which was defined in the first days of January

However, the NCAA expanded the schedule for this knockout tournament to include 12 teams. This caused the dates for the national championship game to be moved back by about 10 days
