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.

guys i already posted this.

5th conference champ is only guaranteed to be in top 12, not be 5th overall.

i do find the nd conundrum interesting. surely there's a caveat for them in there that just didn't get detailed in this short release.

There was confusion about #5 based on the nomenclature but I've now seen multiple sources state that the fifth highest ranked league champion is guaranteed only a slot, not the #5 slot, nor even the opportunity to host a first round game. CBS was very clear on this point:
"the fifth-highest-ranked conference champion is not guaranteed anything other than a spot in the field. If the fifth-highest-ranked conference champion is ranked behind the seven at-large selections, it will be the No. 12 seed. "

According to CBS (same link as above), there isn't:
"Notre Dame, since it is not a conference member, will not be eligible for a top-four seed regardless of ranking. The highest seed Notre Dame can have in the current format is the No. 5 seed. The Fighting Irish not only agreed to this but had an intimate role -- via athletic director Jack Swarbrick -- in crafting the 12-team playoff format dating all the way back to the initial proposal in the summer of 2021."

So using last year's final rankings but (awkwardly) retrofitted on 2024's alignments the seeds would roughly be:

#1 B1G Champion Michigan
#3 SEC Champion Texas
#5 ACC Champion FSU
#14 B12 Champion Arizona
#2 Washington
#4 Bama
#6 Georgia
#7 Ohio State
#8 Oregon
#9 Mizzou
#10 Penn State
#23 CUSA Champion LibertyBiberty

First round games (between CCG's and Christmas)

LibertyBiberty at Washington
Penn State at Bama
Mizzou at Georgia
Oregon at Ohio State

Quarterfinals (NYDish):

LibertyBiberty/Washington vs Arizona
PSU/Bama vs FSU
Mizzou/UGA vs Texas
ORE/tOSU vs Michigan

In looking at a 14-team bracket, only the top 2 seeds get byes. That makes me think it would be a power play of the B1G and SEC to dictate their champs automatically get the 1 and 2 seeds. Maybe that's the "advisory group" idea.

Why don't we just restrict FBS to 128 teams? We can have a 7-week college football season. It'll be a single-elimination tournament. Winner after 7 weeks is the champ.

Seems like something less dumb than this idea.

lame as it gets.

OrangeAfroMan · « **Reply #63 on:** February 21, 2024, 09:47:04 PM »

Looks like now the B1G and SEC are wanting 4 guaranteed spots each. "People are saying"

I did the simulation one year, where teams played a 6 game regular season to start, against division/conference opponents to start. Then were slotted into a double elimination bracket based on strength of their division, and placement within it. Every team would play at least 8 games, and the entire second half of the season was nothing but meaningful games.

This is not going to end well, one day. But not "soon".

You do that regularly, and keep coming back

@ELA what do you do about 2012, when Wisconsin won* the conference? Wouldn't they get the B1G's automatic bid?
