The College Football Playoff (CFP) field for the upcoming season will consist of 12 teams, with five conference champions and seven at-large selections. This decision was made after university presidents overseeing the CFP unanimously voted to adjust the format.
The change in the number of spots reserved for conference champions, from six to five, was influenced by recent realignment and the dissolution of the Pac-12 conference. This adjustment had been anticipated for some time, with a delayed vote last month at the Pac-12's request.
