No major decisions expected from CFP meeting

The College Football Playoff Committee's regularly scheduled meeting today in Dallas to discuss altering the CFP comes with leaders "not knowing how many conferences there will be or who will be in them," and it seems unlikely that the committee will come to any major decisions. At issue for the CFP is "structure, format and revenue distribution -- for starters -- in light of radical realignment that is not yet over." The fate of Oregon State and Washington State "could impact the future composition of at least two conferences," and that "is not going to be decided until at least next week." At least one current Group of Five conference is "believed to be in favor of the 6-6 model moving to 5-7 with five conference champions automatically qualifying." The Big Ten and SEC are "aiming to have as many at-large teams in the field as possible" (CBSSPORTS.com, 8/29).
