The College Football Playoff will begin requiring teams to provide player availability reports for its games next season, following a similar initiative implemented by the Big Ten and SEC in recent seasons.
CFP executive director Rich Clark announced the move Wednesday at the group’s meetings in Asheville, North Carolina, according to CBS Sports’ Brandon Marcello. The CFP did not specify if their model would closely resemble either the Big Ten or the SEC’s approaches to player availability reports, which are typically used for injuries.
In 2023, the Big Ten announced that all teams must submit injury reports at least two hours before kickoff. The availability reports, which are posted online, list athletes as either “questionable” or “out.”
The SEC implemented a similar but more complex measure in 2024. Players are listed under one of four statuses: “out,” “questionable,” “probable,” or “available.” These statuses are submitted on Wednesdays and updated each day leading up to and including the day of the game. The final report must be submitted no later than 90 minutes before kickoff. Schools failing to provide accurate or timely information are subject to increasingly escalating fines.
Big Ten, SEC stalemate headlines College Football Playoff meetings with strength-of-schedule metrics in focus
John Talty
College football coaches have historically resisted publicizing player injury information, fearing it benefits opposing teams. However, the widespread legalization of sports gambling has necessitated more transparency to combat insider gambling, among other issues.
The Big Ten partnered with U.S. Integrity to combat illegal gambling. Their partnership, announced at the same time as their change to player availability injury reports, was designed to help “prevent student-athletes, coaches, and staff from engaging in prohibited sports wagering.”
The College Football Playoff began playing under a 12-team format last season, one that will stay largely intact (other than a seeding adjustment) for the upcoming campaign. The format for 2026 and beyond, however, remains up in the air.

Orioles’ miserable season continues with eight-run collapse vs. Rays
Even with a recent uptick, it has not been a fun season for the Baltimore Orioles.A team that won 101 games two years ago and entered this season with playoff aspirations was 31-41 going into Wednesday, then suffered perhaps its worst loss of the season against the Tampa Bay Rays. After jumping to an 8-0 lead in the second inning, the team slowly ceded the advantage until it was walking off the field with a 12-8 loss.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThey went from this:... to this:Per MLB.com's Sarah Langs, the eight-run comeback ties a Tampa Bay record, alongside games on July 25, 2009 and Aug. 18, 2012. As for the Orioles, they hadn't blown a lead this large since April 28, 2017. That team finished the season 75-87, the year before Baltimore fully embraced a rebuild.Colton Cowser, Christopher Morel and Ramón Laureano all homered […]

Dubois challenger to be decided by Sanchez vs Ajagba rematch
Daniel Dubois' IBF heavyweight title will be targeted by the winner of Frank Sanchez's rematch with Efe Ajagba.The IBF have ordered Sanchez to face Ajagba in an eliminator, with the winner becoming mandatory challenger for the IBF belt which is currently held by Dubois. Britain's world champion is currently preparing for an undisputed world title fight against Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley Stadium on July 19.Derek Chisora had previously been named as 'mandatory challenger' but his position became unclear after the IBF initially ordered Sanchez to fight Filip Hrgovic in an eliminator in April.

Rosberg: Ferrari’s ‘clumsy’ Canadian GP summed up troubled season
Nico Rosberg believes Ferrari's "clumsy" Canadian Grand Prix weekend summed up their disappointing season so far.Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finished fifth and sixth respectively in Montreal as the team slipped back to third in the Constructors' Championship behind Mercedes, who claimed an impressive one-three result. There were again sporadic flashes of strong speed from Ferrari's SF-25, particularly from Leclerc - but the Monegasque missed all of Friday's second practice after crashing in the day's first session and then made an error on his final lap of qualifying just after setting the quickest first sector time of all.Hamilton's Sunday, meanwhile, was compromised after his car sustained damage when it struck a groundhog on lap 13.Reflecting on the Scuderia's frustrating weekend on the latest edition of The F1 Show, 2016 world champion Rosberg said: "We've got to remember that […]
