Message: [QUOTE="Purple Stein, post: 4880028, member: 8205"] Maybe this is a stupid question, but what/who exactly is the CFP? I see that their management committee has a member of each conference+Notre Dame at the table (which means the only teams not represented in their conversations are UConn and UMass), but I don't get WHO they are. Are they subordinate to the NCAA? Or are they their own entity distinct from the NCAA but operating in concert with the NCAA? Regardless, it sure seems like the SEC is ready to transform the thing shortly: [I]"The CFP management committee, which is made up of all 10 FBS commissioners and [URL='https://theathletic.com/college-football/team/notre-dame-fighting-irish-college-football/']Notre Dame[/URL] athletic director Jack Swarbrick, has recommended the 5(conference champions)+7(at large) model, but the board of managers has not yet approved it. “Well, we’ve got two more years on a 12-year cycle and then an important conversation about the future,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey told The Athletic last week. “We look at that independently. That’s not part of what we announced with [URL='https://theathletic.com/5247607/2024/02/02/sec-big-ten-joint-advisory-group/']the advisory group (with the Big Ten)[/URL]. We’re certainly interested in continuing the playoff, but there’s work to do.'"[/I] [/QUOTE]
