From Ross Dellenger:
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.

Utilize existing bowls or use home field advantage to host.

I’d rather see 8. A bye week for the top four teams is a massive advantage, unless the rounds are spread out across a few weeks.

A 12-team playoff would be NFL Lite - only without salary caps and limited free agency through the transfer portal. Which will naturally result in the same collection of superpowers getting in every year, as without the above there will be no parity whatsoever.
If that's what they want, that's what they'll get. But it won't be the sport we grew up with.

I really like this idea, could you imagine hosting a CFP playoff game
quote:
6 highest-ranked conference champs
Wonder if this will be the P5 and 1 G5 champ or truly top 6 ranked conference champs, where last year a Cincy or Coastal gets in over an Oregon.
quote:
6 at-large.
I wonder if there will be certain rules or just the next 6 ranked teams. 2020 would have been
ND, TX A&M, UF, UGA, ISU, & Indiana with Pac 12 still left out
quote:
Yeah. You can go ahead and pencil in Bama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Gus, and Clemson every year
Dont think Gus will keep UCF at the top.

Gus would still be at Auburn with this loser format

I like the idea of 8. Power 5 champs and 3 at large. 1 play 8, etc. 3 week playoff.
