The expanded College Football Playoff takes center stage over the next month as the sport prepares for 12 teams for the first time ever. More teams means more playmakers to watch, and we've got our eyes on some of the best.

After 15 weeks of thrilling action and shocking upsets, the College Football Playoff (CFP) is just about here. And it comes with added anticipation this year as, for the first time ever, 12 teams will be competing for a place in the College Football Playoff Championship Game instead of four.

Maybe it’s the quarterback, maybe a running back, or perhaps even a defensive back; every team amid the Lucky 12 has a Most Valuable Player on its roster.
