第一帖恭喜开版。
上周大事是College Football 季后赛扩军至12个队。最强的六大会议冠军和六张外卡参加。哪六大最强和哪六张外卡，由季后赛委员会决定，并给每个队种子号。
第一轮在5到12号种子之间，高种子队主场。
四分之一决赛和半决赛的6场比赛在六大bowl games轮流举行。冠军赛和现在一样，在中立场地举行。
其实就和以前NFL 12队淘汰赛类似。相当于多创造了8场淘汰赛，电视转播大赚。
最晚2026开始，最早2024开始，最可能2025开始。
The CFP says that the 12-team field will consist of the six highest-ranked conference champions and six at-large teams.
The Playoff committee will continue to select and rank these teams as they do currently. The first games will take place on either the second or third weekend of December, with at least 12 days separating the Playoff and conference championship games.
The top four seeds will receive a first-round bye. Those are reserved for the highest-ranked conference champions. In this model, Notre Dame — or any other independent — will never have the chance at a first-round bye, because they will never play in a conference championship game.
Seeds 1-4 will begin their Playoff in the quarterfinals. They will be given the choice of where they want to play their New Year's Day 6 bowl games. The No. 1 seed will pick first, followed by the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds. The No. 4 seed will receive the last available bowl by default.
Bowl games for the quarterfinals and semifinals will be rotated on an annual basis. The current New Year's Day 6 bowls are the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl and Cotton Bowl. The CFP championship game will continue to be played at a neutral site.
Traditional bowl tie-ins are not necessarily a consideration in this model. While the Pac-12 and Big Ten representatives could play in the Rose Bowl, it would only be because one of those teams was slotted to the Rose Bowl and then played the other in the quarterfinals.
Seeds 5-12 will be filled by the remaining eight highest-ranked teams, using the CFP rankings and allowing for two conference champions. The 5-seed will play the 12-seed; the 6-seed will play the 11-seed; the 7-seed will play the 10-seed; and the 8-seed will play the 9-seed.
First-round games will be played at the higher-seeded team, either on campus or at another location designated by the host team. These games will not have any title or presenting sponsors.
After the first round, the Playoff will then play out as an eight-team competition starting with the quarterfinals. The Playoff field will be reduced to four teams for the semifinals and then two teams for the College Football Playoff championship game.
The CFP said that the Playoff will expand in 2026, but the management committee has been tasked with potentially expanding earlier, in either the 2024 or 2025 season.
