CFP Committee Faces Tough Decisions Amidst Exciting Conference Title Games

The introduction of the 12-team College Football Playoff aims to emphasize the importance of conference championships, with five champions guaranteed spots. However, recent comments by CFP chair Warde Manuel have sparked controversy, suggesting that teams like SMU could be penalized for losing a conference title game, despite their strong season performance.

"College Football Playoff Expands to 12 Teams with New 5+7 Model"

The College Football Playoff has approved an expanded format starting in the 2024 season, which will include five conference champions and seven at-large bids. The number of conference champions was reduced from six to five due to realignment and the disintegration of the Pac-12. The highest-ranking conference champions will secure the five slots, ensuring representation from outside the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC. The CFP selection committee will determine the seven at-large bids, with no limit on teams from one conference. The top four conference champions will receive first-round byes, and the quarterfinals, semifinals, and national championship will be played at neutral sites.

"CFP Adopts 5+7 Format, Alters Conference Champion Spots"

The College Football Playoff has approved a 5+7 format for its 12-team playoff beginning next season, reducing the spots for conference champions from six to five and increasing at-large selections to seven. The move was prompted by realignment and the disassembling of the Pac-12, with the top five conference champions and seven at-large bids being determined by the CFP selection committee. The first round of the playoffs will see teams seeded fifth through 12th playing on the home field of the higher-ranked team, and New Year’s Six bowl games will host the quarterfinals and semifinals. The national championship will remain at a neutral site, with next season’s title game scheduled for January 20 in Atlanta.
