re: What happens with the Playoffs 2024

In the 12-team format, the six highest-ranked conference champions will receive a bid, along with the next six highest-ranked teams.

If there's no Pac-12 champion because there's no Pac-12, that's something that will have to be revisited. What's awkward about it is Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff is one of the 10 FBS commissioners who makes those decisions, along with Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick.

It was too early following the news for any concrete answers as to if and how the model might change, and how it could impact conference champions. "I certainly understand why people need to ask the question," CFP executive director Bill Hancock told ESPN. "The fact is that it's too soon to say. The CFP management committee and board of managers will discuss the future if and when it becomes appropriate. Of course, none of this will affect the four-team playoff this year." -- Dinich
