Looks like this is the recommendation with details worked out later
Announcement this afternoon supposedly . I guess it works for DII and IAA so maybe it will work out but that sounds like they are set at 12

Sources tell me & @ByPatForde that the CFP working group is recommending a 12-team playoff: 6 highest-ranked conference champs & 6 at-large. The 4 highest-ranked champs get a bye while other 8 play 1st-round games on campus. Long way from done, but this is the recommendation.

The next round damn well better be on campus too. There’s not a chance in hell I’m going to 4 straight garbage arse neutral site games.
Even in basketball where you only need 15K to fill an arena and no watches until the tournament, lots of tournament games are played in front of pathetic crowds.

Am I the only one here who likes this?
If they do it right and give the top four byes and home field advantage in the round of eight, your looking at a huge extra home game. And, you'll have 6 at large teams as opposed to effectively 1.
Interest in college football will absolutely catch fire from coast to coast. Every conference championship will be chalked full of meaning. And that spills over into every game that affect teams shot at the conference championship or at an large bid.
The season doesn't become less meaningful. It is exponentially more meaningful for most teams.
I think it's great. And while I have no sympathy for inferior Pac 10 or Big 12 teams sitting home, I do want to raise the profile, prestige and money bestowed on college football.
That will mean all the more glory for the Tide, who will win more, not fewer national championships under the new system, all other things being equal.
