"CFP Board to Vote on 12-Team Playoff Format with '5+7' Model to Incentivize Regular Season"

The College Football Playoff is considering a shift from the 6+6 model to a 5+7 format, reducing automatic bids for conference champions to five and adding an additional at-large bid. The change aims to incentivize the regular season and create more competitive first-round matchups, while also providing more opportunities for ACC and Big 12 teams. The hold-up in the decision-making process is related to concerns from the Pac-12, particularly regarding the financial implications for its remaining schools.

College Football Playoff Committee Proposes 5+7 Model, Changing Playoff Format

The College Football Playoff committee has approved a "5+7" model, which will grant automatic bids to the five highest-ranked conference champions, instead of the previous six. This change comes as the Pac-12 faces significant conference consolidation, with several teams leaving for other conferences. The new model still needs approval from the CFP board, but if implemented, it would allow non-power conference teams to have a chance at making the playoffs on an annual basis.

CFP Committee Nears Decision on 5+7 Model for 12-Team Playoff Format

The College Football Playoff management committee has agreed upon a new 5+7 model that will reward the five highest-ranked conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked teams in the 12-team format starting next season. The proposal still requires unanimous approval from the 11 presidents and chancellors who control the CFP, and a new policy was established requiring a league to have eight members to be eligible for an automatic qualifying spot. The fate of the Pac-12 conference remains uncertain due to legal issues, but the Pac-12 representative on the CFP board could present the change in format.

CFP Committee Proposes 5+7 Model for 12-Team Playoff Format

College Football Playoff (CFP) leaders are recommending a change to the postseason format, moving from the originally approved 6+6 model to a 5+7 format. The proposed format would include five automatic qualifiers and seven at-large berths. The change comes in response to realignment and the collapse of the Pac-12 conference. The recommendation now goes to the CFP Board of Managers for a final vote, which requires unanimity. The new format aims to maintain spots for Power Four conference champions and one bid for the highest-ranked Group of Five champion.

AAC Commissioner Supports 5+7 CFP Format for Expanded 12-Team Bracket

American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco supports a College Football Playoff model that includes the five highest-ranked conference champions, stating that it is necessary if the Pac-12 dissolves. The current proposal includes the six highest-ranked conference champions plus the next six highest-ranked teams, but with the potential collapse of the Pac-12, there is a preference to change to a 5+7 model. Aresco's public support for this model is crucial, as it would give the Group of 5 schools two guaranteed spots in the CFP. However, uncertainty remains regarding the Pac-12's future and its status as a Power 5 conference.
