The College Football Playoff is one of the most anticipated aspects of college football. The annual postseason knockout invitational tournament has decided the college football national champion in the Football Bowl Subdivision since its inception in 2014.
The tournament features just four teams in the subdivision, which often come from the Power Five conferences. A 13-member committee is responsible for selecting and ranking the four teams that compete in the CFP, which often makes it controversial among fans.
It’s worth noting that the College Football Playoff selection approach differs from the previous method employed by the Bowl Championship Series. The championship system used in FBS from 1998 to 2013 used polls or computer rankings to determine the participants.

New format for College Football Playoff in 2024
The College Football Playoff will introduce a new format for the tournament in 2024 that will feature 12 teams rather than the usual four. The participating teams will comprise the six conference champions with the highest rankings and the six most highly-rated at-large teams.
With the six champions of the highest-ranked conferences gaining automatic entry into the tournament, the selection committee will be involved in deciding the other six programs through the current ranking system. The ranking will also play an important role in the seeding of teams until the championship game.
