[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 957379, member: 1199"] The current CFP selection criteria for the expanded 12-team playoff will be made up of the six conference champions ranked highest by the committee (no minimum ranking requirement), and the six highest-ranked teams not among the conference champions. The four highest-ranked conference champions would be seeded Nos. 1 through 4 and receive first-round byes. The other eight seeds — Nos. 5 through 12 — would play in the first round. Assume for a moment that the ACC is 17 teams, the Big 12 and SEC are each 16 teams, and Big Ten is 18 teams. I believe each of those four huge conferences are thinking they will have at least two teams in the playoffs, especially if they are playing nine conference games. If the G5 gets two conference champions in, that means there will only be two spots for conference 3rd place teams AND Notre Dame. This is where it starts getting tingly for ND and its independence. Watch for ND lobbying to reduce the six conference champions to five. Let's assume for a moment that uga, tOSU, Clemson, and TCU are the highest ranking conference champions, plus two G5 champs. Still hanging around are Bama, LSU, FSU, USC, Michigan, Washington, Tennessee, and Texas. All of those schools are ranked ahead of ND in the 2023 pre-season polls. It gets even weirder if the pods [USER=741]@Oldgoldandwhite[/USER] mentioned come to pass. Three pods each in the P4 conferences? Oops, suddenly there's no room for G5 teams or ND. [/QUOTE]
