"Big Ten and SEC Seek First-Round Byes in New 14-Team College Football Playoff"

The Big Ten and SEC are advocating for a 14-team College Football Playoff model that would guarantee three automatic bids for each conference and reserve the format's two first-round byes for each league's respective champion. The proposed model, "3-3-2-2-1," would also grant two bids each to the ACC and Big 12, and one to the highest-ranked Group of Five team, with the remaining at-large berths divided among the next-highest-ranked teams. The rush to reach a consensus on the future of the CFP comes amid ongoing discussions and negotiations, with a soft deadline set for mid-March to finalize an agreement.
