The College Football Playoff management committee has agreed to a significant change that will affect how teams are seeded for the upcoming season. Starting this fall, the 12 playoff participants will be ranked solely based on their performance as evaluated by the selection committee, eliminating the guarantee that the highest-ranked conference champions will receive top seeds and byes. This shift aims to recognize the best teams while ensuring conference champions still get playoff access, but it also highlights the growing power of the Big Ten and SEC at the expense of other conferences.
The College Football Playoff management committee approved a seeding change for the upcoming fall, shifting away from guaranteed byes based on conference champions.
