The new 12-team College Football Playoff will feature five conference champions, who will automatically secure bids.

The remaining eight ranked teams will compete for spots in the 5-12 bracket and will play their games on the home field of the higher-ranked team. The fifth-ranked conference champion will earn a seeding based on its ranking and will earn the No. 12 seed if it is out of the top 12.
