College football’s national champion is about to be determined in a whole new way. Following a decade of a four-team playoff format, the 2024 season is the first to use an expanded, 12-team field for the College Football Playoff. Just as expansion has opened more pathways to a title for more teams, it has also created more room for debate about who should get in, who should be left out and where the games will be played. Let’s get into it.
If it wins the ACC, which it currently leads, it would earn a top-four seeding as one of the four highest-ranked conference champs, even though it currently sits outside the top four. A note that won’t affect this season, but could apply in the future: Reserving the first four seeds for conference champions means that a team that doesn’t play in a conference, such as Notre Dame, could still finish ranked in the top four but could only earn a No. 5 seed at the highest.
