One year away from expansion of the College Football Playoff, the management committee will present a 5+7 model to the owners of the playoff.
Per Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger, the committee voted to recommend the model to the College Football Playoff board of managers during an in-person meeting on Thursday.
The next step in the process will be presenting it to the 11 university presidents and chancellors who own the College Football Playoff for final approval.
The model will reward the five highest-ranked conference champions and next seven highest-ranked teams in the 12-team playoff that is set to begin with the 2024-25 season.
