New CFP Format EXPLAINED 

“New CFP Format EXPLAINED” - by 3 people who have absolutely no idea how it works 😂 it’s actually insane you guys posted this

Okay this is kinda rough to watch... Know the stuff before before doing this. Jake always is very sure of himself, but he was very wrong about who got the bye week. Then when David pointed it out Jake didn't acknowledge that he was wrong. That just confuses everyone watching when you are so sure of yourself then don't acknowledge when you are wrong. The four highest-ranked conference champions get a bye. Meaning that a 9-3 team that upsets a 12-0 team in the conference championship could theoretically get a bye week if there is a lower ranked conference champion. But that likely will never happen because the major conferences have all scrapped divisions, so it'll be likely that the top teams in each conference will be undefeated or 11-1.

If you win your conference regardless if you’re 13-0 or 10-3 as long as it’s one of the power 4 conferences you get a top 4 seed.

Giving the group of five our own playoff would make it seem like we're not even part of FBS. At that point, we may as well be our own subdivision. I like that we get one automatic spot because it legitimizes us as all one subdivision, as it should be.

Auto bids are so lame should be 12 best teams shouldn’t get in because your guaranteed it’s so dumb. You can have 4 losses and be in top 4 ridiculous

So thats why they always trying to force notre dame in the top rankings every year

Did David Michigan just refer to Ohio St as "Ohio"?

Can't wait til an undefeated G5 team gets into the Top 4 and a buy with two other conference champs having two losses. It should happen... Will the CFP committee allow it??? Another debate...

Garbage, I just unsubbed

No we don’t need a separate playoff! Please stop with the dumb ideas because college football is already being destroyed.

Colorado winning the big 12! 🦬💯🦬

Expand to 16 teams single elimination playoffs. Reduce regular season games to 11 games and eliminate cupcake FCS out of conference games and "Conference Championships" games. The "conference champions" can be determined through round-robin and strength of schedule like Big XII did from 2011 - 2016. Realign into 8 superconferernces and automatic bid for 8 "conference champions" and 8 at large bids. No more than 2 at large bids per conference which will force talent to be spread out more evenly across conferences making the games more competitive and exciting the whole season. Home field advantage for "conference champions" for 1st round (Sweet 16). Quarterfinals (Elite 8), Semifinals (Final 4), and Finals (Top 2) on neutral sites. This is the way that all teams heading into playoffs will never play each other more than twice in a season and all teams play same number of games (no byes).

The 5 seed has the theoretical easiest path (*if they don’t make a conference champ game) … the 12 seed will almost always be the “best G5 school,” nearly the same amount of total “rest days” overall as the 1-4 seeds, less travel. And there’s also the chance the 12 seed is a CC game loser.l, which means one more game for your opponent and less rest for them. Everyone has to play a minimum of 4 games to win the Natty bc of the Conference Champ games, which are all played at neutral sites.

I dont understand why dont we just keep upping the games played to twenty games then by the time the CFP National Title game goes down we can just see which team has the best 3rd string vs the other teams 3rd string?

The expanded format sucks. Too many autobids. Throwing a bone to some schools that do not belong in the CFP playoffs.

Notre Dame should be force into the conference to be made to play UConn and those teams they should not be allowed to play any other conference teams cause they not in that conference

Came here to learn about the playoff and now more confused than before

I can't stand notre dame. Such a crap team and staying soft. They're afraid of actually joining a decent conference. They never have a strong schedule and they don't have what it takes to prove they're worthy of a national championship. Get rid of independence teams.

I was shock I thought they would keep the top 6 champions make it in

Ngl you could have used graphics and better language to describe it

If today was the final rankings, this is what it would look like: 1. SEC = TEX 2. BIG10 = OSU 3. ACC = MIA 4. BIG12 = UTAH 1st round games (teams 5-11 seeded based on their final ranking in the CFP poll) 5. GA - SEC (home game) 12. NIU (MAC champ) 8. TEN - SEC (home game) 9. MIZ - SEC 6. ALA - SEC (home game) 11. PSU - BIG10 7. MISS - SEC (home game) 10. ORE - BIG10 2nd and 3rd round games played at the traditional bowl sites = Sugar, Orange, Rose, Fiesta, Peach, Cotton Natty = Atlanta The SEC makes big money in this 12-team scenario. A team that plays in the 1st round would play a total of 16 games in their schedule to be Natty champs. I can't see it happening. Injuries! The committee will collude to make sure a G5 team will never see a ranking above 12. We have learned from the Cinny and UCF debacle. ND will most certainly have to be undefeated to make the play-off. So, they better join a conference. The last time ND had a one lost season was 2018 and remember what happened to them against Clemson in the play-offs. A beat down. Their protection if they lose more than 2 games, is to be part of a conference and to play/win a conference championship. The undefeated seasons are over in college football folks!

If today? SEC gets 6 teams in the play-off. LOL And ND is today ranked 17th. So, they are out. They better join the ACC or BIG10 in the future. That lost to NIU was a killer.

I don’t understand why Notre dame won’t just join the ACC already, they won’t win the Big Ten or SEC anytime soon and they’re always playing ACC teams anyway, I’m sure they’re more then good enough to contend with Florida State & Clemson. If they had been in the ACC last year they would’ve won it it’s a power 5 conference built for them to run

No conference champion is ssve Big ten 9-4 record champion in the bubble with need help 5-9 conference champion

Who’s on first

Lawmakers need to get involved. ESPN antitrust laws violation and gambling promotion concerns are troubling.

There should be an Independent championship game.

Yea that 5-7 format is coming in 2026, so Notre Dame is good

...this format won't hurt ND...all they need to do is win 7 or more games...the CFP will take them for the TV revenue...the Sec/B1G gets 4, the ACC/ Big12 get 4..then fight over the other 4...

I beg to differ; the group of 5 needs to be in this mix, and they should get multiple seats if they play the season correctly. Now, I agree that the G5s should have their own national championship game, but if that is the case, they need to change the NIL and transfer portal to help the G5 schools, not just be a feeder system for the P4 schools.

THANKYOU! Why can’t people get that!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤷🏾‍♂️

The best recruiting team in the new Big 12 over the last few seasons (Texas Tech or TCU) would make for the 14th best recruiting team in the SEC next season, yet they expect us to believe that the Big 12 champ deserves a bye-week over whoever comes in 2nd in the SEC. This is what happens when artificial equality becomes a mindset. If conferences and programs want to be better, they can be better (talking to you ACC and Florida State), but don’t expect us to give you a juggernauts reward for winning games with a cupcake schedule, that’s just ludicrous. It should just be the 12 best teams, no auto-bids whatsoever. The 4 best teams in the country should get a bye-week, regardless if they win their conference championship or not.
