College Football Playoff (CFP) is the postseason tournament for the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest level of college football in the United States. The FBS consists of elite universities and colleges and serves as the primary talent pool for the NFL and other professional leagues through the annual Draft.
Beginning with the 2024 season, the CFP expanded from a four‑team format to a 12‑team tournament, played at the end of the FBS regular season.
Teams are selected by the CFP Committee. The field includes automatic bids for the top five conference champions in the CFP Rankings, with the top four earning first‑round byes. The remaining seven spots are awarded to the highest‑ranked at‑large teams.
First‑round games are hosted on campus by the higher‑seeded teams. The quarterfinals and semifinals rotate among the historic New Year’s Six bowl games — the Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Peach, Rose, and Sugar Bowls — and the National Championship is played at a separately chosen neutral site.
BOWL GAMES
These are played on a rotational basis and used for the Quarterfinals and Semifinals but host sites cannot bid to host the National Championship in a season when they are hosting one of the Playoff Rounds.
Only the Rose Bowl Game has a permanent date of January 1.

2026-2027 CFP Playoff Schedule
The CFP Selection Committee is responsible for ranking the top 25 teams for inclusion in the Playoff and then assigning the teams to the Playoff bracket. The selection committee meets in person beginning late in the football season and produces a ranking of the top 25 teams each week leading up to its final selections which occur after the Conference Championship Games that close the season on December 5.
The committee releases its top 25 rankings weekly on Tuesdays in the second half of the regular season. During the season, the committee meets and releases rankings six or seven times, depending on the length of the season (the number of games is consistent, but the number of weeks those games are played over can vary from year to year). The group, which meets at the Gaylord Texan hotel in Grapevine, Texas, reportedly meets in person up to 10 total times a year.
A team is chosen based on strength of schedule, one of the key factors, as well as conference championships, team records, and head-to-head results, plus other points such as injuries and weather. Committee members are not required to attend games.

How the CFP Field Is Set
Reference: College Football Playoff
- The 12 participating schools will be the Power 4 conference champions from the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Southeastern Conference and the highest-ranked team from the Group of 6 conferences American, Conference USA, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West, Pac-12 Conference or Sun Belt Conference, along with the next seven highest-ranked teams regardless of conference. The University of Notre Dame, independent team, can qualify if it is ranked among the top 12 teams in the final rankings.
- The four highest-ranked schools are seeded 1-4 and receive a first-round bye. The remaining schools will be seeded 5-12 based on their final ranking.
- If any of the automatic qualifiers falls outside of the top 12, they will be seeded at the bottom of the 12-team pool. If any are not ranked in the top 25, the committee will evaluate the team(s) using its established selection criteria and determine their relative positions for seeding purposes and seed them at the bottom of the 12-team pool.
- The eight schools seeded No. 5-12 will play in the CFP First Round with the higher seeds hosting the lower seeds either on campus or at other sites designated by the higher-seeded institution (No. 12 at No. 5, No. 11 at No. 6, No. 10 at No. 7 and No. 9 at No. 8.).
- The No. 1 seed will select its quarterfinal bowl site and the semifinal site into which it will advance should it win its quarterfinal game.
- The No. 2 seed, followed by the No. 3 seed, will then select from the remaining quarterfinal bowl sites. Those two teams will be assigned to the remaining semifinal.
- The No. 4 seed will be assigned to the remaining quarterfinal bowl site.
- With the four highest-ranked schools' bowls selected, their four CFP Quarterfinal opponents will be dictated by the bracket (i.e., No. 1 vs. No. 8/9 winner, No. 4 vs. No. 5/12 winner, No. 2 vs. 7/10 winner; No. 3 vs. 6/11 winner.)
- The College Football Playoff bracket will follow the selection committee’s rankings, with no modifications made to avoid rematches between teams that may have played during the regular season or are from the same conference.
- The bracket will remain in effect throughout the playoff (i.e., no re-seeding).
- All 11 games will be under the CFP umbrella with the administrative policies determined by the CFP.

Playoff Format
The College Football Playoff uses a 12‑team single‑elimination format, featuring a mix of automatic qualifiers and at‑large selections. The system includes first‑round byes for the top four seeds, on‑campus first‑round games, and New Year's Six bowls hosting the Quarterfinals and Semifinals.
Team Selection
- 12 teams qualify.
- Automatic bids: Conference champions from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, plus the highest‑ranked Group of 6 champion. Notre Dame qualifies automatically if ranked in the top 12.
- At‑large bids: Remaining highest‑ranked teams fill the field.
Seeding
- Teams are seeded 1 through 12 by the CFP Selection Committee.
- Seeds 1–4 receive a first‑round bye. Only conference champions are eligible for these top four seeds.
- Seeds 5–12 play in the First Round.
First Round (On‑Campus)
Hosted by the higher seed:
- 5 vs 12
- 6 vs 11
- 7 vs 10
- 8 vs 9
Winners advance to face Seeds 1–4 in the Quarterfinals.
Quarterfinals
Played within the New Year’s Six bowls (Cotton, Orange, Rose, Sugar). The No. 1 seed selects its preferred Quarterfinal bowl site, followed by No. 2 and No. 3. The No. 4 seed is assigned the remaining site.
Semifinals
Hosted by rotating New Year’s Six bowls. Matchups follow the fixed bracket (no reseeding).
National Championship
A standalone title game at a neutral site selected through a bidding process.
Additional Notes
- The bracket is not reseeded at any stage.
- The 12‑team format will remain in place for the 2026 season.
PLAYOFF ROUNDS
The following is a list of College Football Playoff games, excluding the National Championship, which is shown above. From the 2014–15 through 2023–24 seasons, the semifinals rotated among the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta, and Peach Bowls, with each bowl hosting a semifinal once every three years. A standalone National Championship game was played roughly a week later.
Beginning with the 2024–25 season, the Playoff expanded to a 12‑team format featuring four rounds. First‑round games are played on campus sites, while the quarterfinals and semifinals continue to rotate among the same six bowl games. The postseason concludes with the standalone National Championship game.
