CFP Won't Reconsider How to Select 12 Teams for Playoff Until Realignment Settles

The College Football Playoff is in wait-and-see mode after an offseason of drastic conference realignment.

While the CFP is scheduled to increase to a 12-team format starting in the 2024 season, the criteria for inclusion in that expanded field is still unknown since the Pac-12 may very well not even exist.

CFP executive director Bill Hancock addressed that reality following a Wednesday meeting between the 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick.

"To the matter of conference realignment, we're going to have to wait and see," Hancock said, per Heather Dinich of ESPN.
