re: CFP going to 12 teams

Among the measures approved by the CFP board Friday:

12-team bracket: Six highest-ranked conference champions (no minimum ranking requirement), plus next six highest-ranked teams
Rankings system: CFP Selection Committee will continue to determine weekly rankings with criteria to be reevaluated
Bracket placement: Four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded 1-4 with first-round byes; four highest remaining seeds will host lower seeds at sites to be determined
Scheduling: First-round games will be played at campus sites* on either the second or third weekend in December, at least 12 days after conference championship games
Bowl relationship: Quarterfinal and semifinal games will be played at rotating bowl sites subject to agreements being reached; national championship will continue being played at neutral sites; existing conference relationships with bowls will be considered for game placements
* Exceptions may be made, for example, if a team with a smaller stadium prefers to host in a larger nearby venue or a Big Ten team wants to play at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, home of the Big Ten Championship Game, sources told Dodd
