College Football Playoff managers will meet this week to determine the number of places reserved for conference champions in the soon-to-be expanded field.
The Pac-12 has status as a Power Five conference for two more years under the current CFP contract. That status comes with much larger revenue payouts than that of the so-called Group of Five conferences.Whether there will be a Pac-12 next year remains murky, but it is clear a new Pac-12 will not be as strong as the current one, Sankey said.
"And if you look at a six-and-six format from [2024] forward, the sixth-best conference champion would be unranked some years, or in the 20s, and you're displacing now the 11th-ranked team," Sankey said."That just doesn't work, and we have to understand that. And that's not meant to be disrespectful to anyone. That's just meant to acknowledge new realities."
There are no contracts in place for the College Football Playoff beyond 2025. While the 12-team format has been agreed upon, other aspects of the model and how the CFP is managed could be changed. That includes the need for unanimity among the participating conferences.
