The expanded 12-team College Football Playoff will be a new experience for many teams that never participated in the four-team version. The potential for multiple postseason games means a lot more planning, travel and activity. Teams in the Championship Subdivision have been at it for the past 46 years, dating to the split of Division I. The FCS bracket started small, with four teams in 1978, but has expanded ever since.
