more detail

Under the 12-team playoff format that begins this fall, the four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and each will receive a first-round bye, while teams seeded five through 12 will play each other in the first round on the home field of the higher-ranked team. (The team ranked #5 will host #12; team #6 will meet team #11; team #7 will play team #10; and team #8 will meet #9.) The quarterfinals and semifinals will be played in the New Year's Six bowl games, the national championship game will continue to be at a neutral site. No conference will qualify automatically and there will be no limit on the number of participants from a conference.

Even though this is probably bad for my team, I'm glad it is set up this way. 

It makes the conference title races meaningful because you get a free pass into the quarter-finals by winning a top league.

I could probably google this, but what are they going to do schedule-wise? Obviously the NY6 bowl games today all happen today in a 2-day span, where you'll need a week between them for quarterfinals followed by semifinals for the teams to have recover/preparation...

My guess is seeds 5-12 play two weeks before the NYD 6, or a week before Christmas. Seeds 5-8 play at their home stadiums.

5-12
6-11
7-10
8-9

Then the NYD 6 games are the quarter and semifinals.

Adds another 2 weeks to the season.

Sounds about right. There will be 11 CFP games per year as compared to the 2014-2023 three.

  • Four first-round games hosted by seeds 5-8.
  • Four quarter-finals
  • Two semi-finals
  • One CG
First round probably between CCG's and Christmas.

Quarter-finals roughly NYD

Semi-finals roughly January 10-16.

CG roughly January 17-23.

Why is this called 5-7? Shouldn't it be 4-8?

Or are they saying that the highest ranked G5 winner gets the 5 seed?
