The College Football Playoff is relocating to a 12-team field in 2024, however the format for picking those schools has actually not yet been chosen. The CFP Board of Managers is now taking a critical action towards making that option.
Per ESPN’s Heather Dinichthat group is anticipated to vote Feb. 20 on the 5 7 design, which would consist of the 5 highest-ranked conference champs in addition to the next 7 highest-ranked groups.
The CFP was initially going to roll with a 6 6 format, suggesting another conference champ and one less at-large group. With the Pac-12 dropping to 2 groups, the Power Five is now turning into a Power Four, leading to a 5 7 discussion.
The virtual conference requires a consentaneous vote from the Board of Managersper Dinich.
That board includes 11 presidents or chancellors representing 10 conferences (American Athletic, Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Pac-12, Southeastern and Sun Belt) along with a football independent in Notre Dame.
