The biggest change to this year’s 12-team playoff from last season is that this year’s field will be straight seeded. Each Power Four conference champion is guaranteed a spot in the field, but they will no longer get a top four seed and a bye into the quarterfinals.
The SEC has nine teams ranked in the Top 25. The Big Ten has seven. The ACC has five and the Big 12 has three.
