The College Football Playoff Committee revealed their latest clusterfuck, a 12 team popularity poll from a 10 person team of clueless fools. The five highest ranked conference champions, and the next seven highest ranked teams, will begin playoffs on December 20, and continue until January 20 for the championship game. Supposedly, there is no limit to how many teams from one conference can be in the Playoff, the committee will likely rig their rankings to limit the SEC and Big 10 to 2 teams each. Why Notre Dame is still given a spot on this Committee baffles me. They will still find a way to keep them ranked in the top 12.
RALPH D. RUSSO and STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press The field for the 12-team College Football Playoff beginning next season will comprise five conference champions and seven at-large selections after the university presidents who oversee the CFP voted unanimously Tuesday to tweak the format.
The move to decrease the number of spots reserved for conference champions from six to five was prompted by realignment and the disassembling of the Pac-12. An expected vote last month was delayed at the Pac-12's request.
The original plan for the 12-team format was to have the six highest-ranked conference champions, with the top four receiving first-round byes, and six at-large selections. But with one fewer so-called power conference after the Pac-12's demise, the commissioners who manage the CFP recommended the change from the 6-6 format to 5-7.
No conference will have automatic access. Those five slots will go to the highest-ranked conference champs as determined by the CFP selection committee, ensuring at least one team from outside the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12 and Southeastern Conference will make the 12-team field.
The selection committee’s rankings also will determine the seven at-large bids. There will be no limit to how many teams can come from the same league.
“It basically confirms the spirit of the original 6-6, and that was done when you had five A5 conferences,” American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco said Tuesday. “To have a fifth (champion) is good, and it’s not a four-plus-one, which is good. It’s the best five. ... It’s a merit-based system.”
The coming season will be the first with a 12-team playoff after 10 years of it being a four-team event.
“This is a very logical adjustment for the College Football Playoff based on the evolution of our conference structures since the board first adopted this new format in September 2022,” said Mark Keenum, president of Mississippi State and chairman of the CFP Board of Managers. “We all will be pleased to see this new format come to life on the field this postseason.”
While the four highest-ranked conference champions will get a first-round bye in the new format, teams seeded fifth through 12th will open the postseason on the home field of the higher-ranked team — No. 5 vs. No. 12; No. 6 vs. No. 11; No. 7 vs. No. 10; and No. 8 vs. No. 9. The first of those four games will be on Dec. 20, a Friday night, with the remaining first-round contests played the next day.
New Year's Six bowl games will host the quarterfinals and semifinal playoff games. The first quarterfinal game next season will be New Year's Eve in the Fiesta Bowl, followed on New Year's Day by the Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. The semifinal sites will be the Orange Bowl on Jan. 9, and the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10.
The national championship will remain at a neutral site, with next season’s title game Jan. 20 in Atlanta.
The CFP management committee, which is composed of 10 conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, is scheduled to meet in person Wednesday in the Dallas area. Topics could include the still-pending six-year deal worth $1.3 billion annually between ESPN and the CFP that would allow the network to keep exclusive rights to the 12-team playoff through the 2031 season.

There is ZERO chance the committee will limit the SEC to two teams. Last year proved the fix is in and the committee will bend over backwards to scratch ESPN's and the SEC's backs.
Using last year's final rankings, the SEC would have had 3 of the top 6 teams in the rankings (Texas, Bama and UGA) and 6 in the top 12 with Missouri, Ole Miss and Oklahoma. No way in the world, the committee would exclude Georgia in that scenario and I am positive one or two of the other teams would get in as well.
It's all about the money and ESPN's money speaks loudest right now. If anything gets rigged, it will be to include more SEC teams, not limit the number.

There is no more Power 5. It’s Power 4 at most, and once FSU leaves the ACC along with a number of teams (UNC, Clemson, Miami, etc.), the ACC won’t warrant consideration for much longer either. This is moving towards a P2, with everyone outside the P2 fighting for scraps.

Now that we have 12 teams they are now looking at 14. That is not a good number, so 16 will be proposed. Basketball couldn't even be satisfied with 16, 32, or even 64. They had to add even more, so we now have a 68 team tourney and many fans still complain their team should be included. When a 4-loss team beats out several undefeated teams to be crowned national champion, fans will switch to Lingerie Football league will get more viewers.

We regularly see teams barely above .500 winning the World Series. So it is only a matter of time before some 8-4 team gets hot and wins it all. The thing is, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I can't decide if I hate it or love it. It's totally untraditional, but is it bad? Every year in March Madness we jump on the bandwagon of some 15 or 16 seed who make it to the Sweet 16 winning it all. And if it were to happen, would it be a travesty or a triumph? I kinda lean toward the latter.

Once again, the 'problems' that are being mentioned now were talked about several years ago before this fiasco got off the ground. And once again, we fans need to voice our opinions on what we desire in our champions... Do you want a SEASON champion with a 14-0 record (or something very similar) or a tournament champion like basketball? Most of us here are older and remember the uproar in 1984 when BYU was selected as MNC...BYU opened the season unranked, but beat an obviously overranked #3 Pitt (finished 3-7-1) team to jump into the rankings at #13 in week 2. After winning out over a very substandard schedule, their big game was a bowl win over 6-6 MissedAgain to claim the championship. I'd rather have an undeserving 10-2 team left out & whining than have a 12-5 WAC team declared champions because they got lucky (& hot) just at the end of the year.
