These 2 polls show that the 2024 playoff format must change from 6 conference champs and 6 at large to 5 champs and 7 at large and seeding according to ranking and not the 4 top-ranked champs being seeded 1-4 and receiving a 1st round bye. Either way, the Pac-2 will not receive an automatic bid. 

 

Using the Week 1 AP Poll

 

6 and 6 format -

 

1. UGA - SEC

 

2. Michigan - B1G

 

3. FSU - ACC

 

4. Kansas State (ranked 15) - B12 -Ridiculous

 

5. Alabama

6. Ohio State

7. USC

8. Penn State

9. Washington

10. Tennessee

 

11. TULANE AAC

 

12. Troy (ranked 36) Sun Belt - Ridiculous

 

5 Champs - 7 at large - seeding according to ranking

 

1. UGA - SEC

2. Michigan - B1G

3. Alabama - AL

4. FSU - ACC

 

5. Ohio State - AL

6. USC - AL

7. Penn State - AL

8. Washington - AL

9. Tennessee - AL

10. Notre Dame - AL 

11. Texas - AL

12. Tulane - AAC

 

IMO, the 5-7 format in a Power 4 world, and with natural seeding makes far more sense than a 6-6 format with preferred conference champ seeding.

 

Votes for the format change - B1G, SEC, Notre Dame, and probably the ACC and the B12. G5 conferences that want to stay with the same format could suffer come the 2026 playoff and I believe this will be made known by the Power 2 and others.

 

[Come 2026, ND should lose its most-favored-nation status and to be playoff-eligible join a conference or play 13 games with no fewer than 10 played against P4 teams.]

    Wait for a few weeks. Especially, once conference play begins in earnest.

    Exactly! Who was it who said, after a while, you're as good as your record says you are?

    Bill Parcells. But not 'after a while,' 'your record shows how good you are.' In football and elsewhere.

    Dennis Dodd was not nice to the Pac-12 in the offseason (in hindsight, justifiably so) but he is loving the Pac-12 to date.

     

    7 Pac-12 teams make DD's Week 1 top 25.

    No.

    Not concerned, don't want to be a program focused on preseason rankings.

     

    We are a program that earns, builds it's ranking, and puts fear into other teams. It is nice to be that Oregon Football Program again!
