Important conversations about the future of the College Football Playoff will continue this week in Dallas, where the 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua will meet Tuesday.
The commissioners and Bevacqua -- an 11-member group called the CFP management committee -- will discuss whether to change how teams are seeded in the 12-team field this fall, a tweak that would alter which teams earn first-round byes and an automatic $4 million for reaching a quarterfinal round.
While the bulk of the meeting is expected to focus on 2025, debate around automatic qualification for the playoff in 2026 and beyond is at some point inevitable.
