CFP Committee Adopts 5 + 7 format

Anyone check how this format would have looked for ‘23 season? If someone gets bored, make up the bracket!!

"Notre Dame could go 12-0 next season and, at best, get the 5-seed and host a mid-December first round game in South Bend."

Then maybe it's time for Notre Dame to grow a pair and fully join a conference. Like anything in life, there are pros and cons.
And my comment is directed at the X porster, not @Tony4Canes.

Per that article that was posted by someone earlier in the thread, 9 of the 12 teams would've been from B10 and SEC. Sounds like the other teams would've been Wash, FSU and TX.

Must say that it appears that article was projecting from the new B10/SEC so UW, TX, Oregon, OK were counted as already in those conferences.

With the new conference members in the B10 and SEC, that's 11 of 12 teams from those conferences..

This power play assures P5 OOC matchups are gone. And will force ND to join a conference. The risk for anybody outside of the Power 2 isn’t worth it. Nobody is gonna schedule ND anymore. Idk how rock solid that ACC deal is through 2036, but the ACC should look to leverage it into a full time member, or drop them. It can only hurt playing ND when it doesn’t count as a conference game. USC will drop them. And anybody form the Power 2 won’t want to have another possible tough game for no reason.

How? With the size of conferences nowadays, there is a pretty strong likelihood that the teams which make the conference championship games haven't played each other during the regular season. Then, you have to hope they play a similar conference schedule.

Imagine Miami having to play Clemson and FSU in a season and finish 7-1 in conference and 11-1 overall, but due to the luck of the schedule, Duke wins the ACC because they doesn't play Miami, Clemson, or FSU in the regular season and finish 12-0 with 4 Group of 5 OOC wins?

Won’t happen.

Reason 1 - Duke
Reason 2 - Manny Diaz
