Clemson Football has aspirations to qualify for the four-team College Football Playoff in 2023, as do many college football programs.
Next season, the CFP will change to a new 12-team model, but the massive changes in realignment over the summer have conference commissioners discussing the planned format.
The planned format was a “6+6”, which meant six automatic qualifiers for conference champions and six at-large berths. The top four conference champions would get the top four seeds and the byes into the quarterfinals, while the other two champions and the at-large programs would play first-round games on college campuses.
