The College Football Playoff (CFP) is set to transition to a straight seeding format in 2025, determined by a recent vote among conference commissioners. This decision comes after the 2024 iteration, which saw a 12-team playoff structure awarding byes to the four top conference champions. Under the new model, while five spots are reserved for conference champions, the playoff will avoid the previous discrepancies in seeding. As discussions continue about future CFP formats post-2025, this change establishes clearer guidelines for the upcoming season less than 100 days away.
