“After evaluating the first year of the 12-team playoffs, the CFP Management Committee felt that making this adjustment was the game’s greatest benefit,” CFP Executive Director Rich Clark said in a statement. “The change will ensure that teams have access to the playoffs by rewarding teams with winning conference championships, but it will also allow them to build a postseason bracket that recognizes the best performance on the field throughout the regular season.”
