This is probably old news for everyone here, but I had no idea this change happened. I really hate this. I think conference championships should be rewarded heavily. What do y'all think? (Also I think they should reseed like the NFL does. But that's a different matter.)

The CFP Management Committee has voted to modify the 2025-2026 season so that the five highest-ranked conference champions are guaranteed access and changed seeding to match final selection committee ranking.

I've been thinking about the conference championship games. They should do away with them completely and replace them with a wild card round. Basically top 8 teams get in. Then another 8 teams (no more than 2 from each conference) go into the wild card. If a conference (or G5) has two teams in the wild card, they play each other. (So Alabama and Texas would have played, Vanderbilt would be out.)

You get conference matchups that actually matter.

Then the 12 remaining teams play like normal.

Yeah the CCGs just don't work with the playoffs. Playoffs are so big now, conferences so big, and bowls no longer tied to CCGs (ie. Rose Bowl, etc.)

For me the solution which will never be reached is to go back to sane conferences. But hell, colleges are selling out to private equity now on top of their fat contracts with conferences so we're going even faster in the wrong direction.
