At its point in the season of existence, the 12-team school football playoffs will put an updated replacement in its postseason format.
According to CFP officials last Thursday, the occasion will lead a direct sowing trend for the next autumn season. This rule will now praise the 4 most sensible groups in the normal season of school football with goodbye in the first circular to move to the 4 winners of the highest leveling convention.
According to ESPN, the commissioners of 10 FBS along with Notre Dame Director Pete Bevacqua reached the unanimous resolution in a phone call Thursday afternoon.
With the change of recent format, an unconventional team such as Notre Dame is now eligible to obtain goodbye in the first circular if they end in the 4 most sensible 4 of the CFP. However, the five most sensible winners of the Convention will still have a guaranteed slot the 12 -team playoff event.
“After evaluating the first year of the playoffs of 12 centrals, the CFP control committee estimated that it was the most productive interest of the game to make this adjustment,” said Rich Clark, executive director of the CFP, in a press release. “This replacement will continue to allow guaranteed access to playoffs by rewarding groups for winning their conventions championship, however, it will also allow us to build an aid after the season that recognizes the most productive functionality in the box of the season. “
If this year’s format was implemented a season ago, the Oregon Ducks, Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Lonchornns and Penn Stateny Lions would have been the first 4 heads of the event. On the other hand, Penn State and Texas were expelled through the winners of the conference name at the Arizona State Sun Devils (Big2 winners) and the Broncos of the state of Boisse (WEST MOUNTAIN winners).
In the new format, the state of Arizona would have presented a game on the way to Ohio State Buckeyes in a sixth opposite to the first circular match. The wooden state would have attracted a inclination of the road with the Hoosiers de L’Asiana in an eighth and ninth game sown.

No. 5 Notre Dame opposite No. 12 Clemson
No. 6 de Ohio State vs. No. Arizona State
No. 7 Tennessee vs. No. 10 SMU
No. 8 Indiana vs. No. Nine Boise State
Despite the recent change, the CFP delegation will continue to settle for the $8 million monetary payment for the four conference champions. Systems that secure a playoff position and/or highlight quarter-quarter failures will get a $4 million refund.
“It’s the commissioners’ way of having, at least for this year, the commitment that they made financially to those teams, those convention champions in particular, that would have been paid within the framework of the old formula that we used last year,” Clark told ESPN.
