Below is an article containing some of the recent comments from the Conference Commissioners concerning possible adjustments to the current CFP format. The 10 Commissioners and ND will meet on Sunday. CFP Management Committee (11 Presidents) will also meet on Sunday.
I show Commissioner Phillips' comments below. Big 12 Commissioner Yormark has a similar position supporting the current format. B1G Commissioner and SEC Commissioner support seeding based on the CFP committee rankings. This is worth the 4-minute read. According to the article, any changes would likely be in 2026 season.
"ACC commissioner Jim Phillips referred to similar professional playoff formats that uses an automatic bye structure for teams that win divisions or conferences, such as the NFL. He cited one of the most recent regular season games in which the Detroit Lions played the Minnesota Vikings. The winner, Detroit, won the NFC North, received the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs. Minnesota dropped to the wild-card spot and had to travel for a first-round game, which it lost to the Los Angeles Rams."
“The NFL, which we believe is the highest level of football in our world, has a system that rewards divisional champions,” Phillips said. “You see it in Major League Baseball, too. It’s not as if this system is so foreign. This shouldn’t be used as a convenient rationale. It deserves a review, and we should talk about how it went. But it’s not some exotic structure.”
From the author: As reported by Yahoo Sports on Dec. 10, the Big Ten and SEC are poised to at least introduce a discussion about
seeding the field based on the alignment of the rankings and eliminate the bye rule.
Eliminating the CFP’s rule designating the top four seeds and first-round byes to conference champions won't likely happen next year.
