The CFP will now seed the top 12 teams strictly by ranking, giving the top 4 ranked teams byes — not necessarily the top 4 conference champions. A revised 2024 playoff bracket would’ve given Texas and Penn State byes and dropped Boise State and Arizona State to road games. Boise State remains in the 2025 Top 25 due to its MWC title, strong defense, and returning talent — despite losing Ashton Jeanty. Conference title games may lose importance, especially in the SEC and Big Ten where multiple teams will likely qualify regardless. Athlon’s Top 10 includes Texas, Penn State, Ohio State, and Georgia; UNLV not yet ranked but positioned as a rising G5 threat. The new system puts pressure on G5 programs to win convincingly, schedule aggressively, and build national credibility to earn playoff spots. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
