Oregon Leads CFP Rankings; Notre Dame Faces Indiana in First Round
TL;DR Summary
The 12-team College Football Playoff format, designed to be more inclusive, still faces criticism for its flaws, such as not granting first-round byes to top teams like Texas and Notre Dame due to conference title requirements. Oregon leads the power rankings with a strong resume, followed by Georgia and Notre Dame. The new system, influenced by the remaining power conferences, complicates the playoff landscape, with teams like Arizona State surprisingly securing high seeds. Changes are expected when the new TV contract begins in 2026.
