“We’re going to have to wait until the dust settles before making any decisions about how that might affect CFP.
“To the matter of conference realignment, we’re going to have to wait and see,” said CFP executive director Bill Hancock. It’s not the first time we’ve been through conference changes.” Did that dominate the meeting? I don’t think it did,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said outside the DFW Grand Hyatt conference room. “Did we talk about things that have changed around us? Sure. But that requires further discussion, commissioners said, as do any potential changes to the current revenue distribution formula. It is possible the format could change to five champions and seven at-large teams, if the Pac-12 were to dissolve and leave just four power conferences and nine FBS conferences in total.
The commissioners discussed potential format changes to the approved 12-team CFP model, which includes six designated spots for conference champions and six spots for the highest-ranked at-large teams.
