DALLAS -- Leaders of the College Football Playoff are asking for more information before they decide whether to change the way teams are seeded in the 12-team playoff this fall, CFP executive director Rich Clark said Tuesday following a day of meetings at the DFW Grand Hyatt.
The 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua -- an 11-person group called the CFP management committee -- are considering a "straight seeding" format this year, which would reward the selection committee's top four teams with a first-round bye instead of the four highest-ranked conference champions as was the case this past season.
