What is the College Football Playoff format?

For the first time in a decade, the College Football Playoff (CFP) expanded from four to 12 teams starting in 2024. Here’s how the new format works: Teams that qualify: The five highest-ranked conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked teams earn a spot in the 12-team bracket. There is no limit on how many teams can come from a single conference. Seeding: The four highest-ranked conference champions receive the top four seeds and a first-round bye. Seeds 5–12 play in the first round, hosted either on campus or at designated sites by the higher-ranked team (so the No. 5 seed would host the No. 12 seed). Matchups are 5 vs. 12, 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, and 8 vs. 9. Advancing through the bracket: First-round winners move to the quarterfinals and semifinals, held at the New Year’s Six bowls (Rose, Orange, Sugar, Cotton, Fiesta, Peach). The top seed receives preferential bowl placement. Winners advance to the CFP National Championship at a neutral site. Games required to win the title: Teams without a first-round bye must win four consecutive games to become national champions. Teams with a first-round bye must win three consecutive games to win the national title. Rematches and conference matchups: There are no restrictions on rematches or teams from the same conference facing each other.

When did the College Football Playoff start?

The College Football Playoff (CFP) began with the 2014-2015 season, replacing the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) as the method for determining the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) national champion. The first CFP games were held on January 1, 2015, with the championship game following on January 12, 2015.

How are teams selected for the College Football Playoff?

A 13-member committee ranks the top 25 teams, assigns seeds and places teams in bowls using a subjective process that considers championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and other relevant factors. Voting is by secret ballot, and committee members are recused from votes involving their own schools.

What are the criteria for the College Football Playoff rankings?

The selection committee uses several key criteria to determine rankings, including: Win-Loss Record: Overall performance during the season. Strength of Schedule: Quality of the opponents played. Conference Championships: Winning a conference title is a significant factor, especially when teams are closely ranked. Head-to-Head Results: Outcomes of games played between ranked teams. Performance Against Common Opponents: Comparison of results against shared opponents. The committee also considers "game control," injuries and other subjective elements to rank teams.
