The College Football Playoff experiment of giving the top four seeds to the four highest-ranked conference champions has come to an end after one season.

The expected change would have the seeds match the selection committee’s final rankings, regardless of conference affiliation. A move to straight seeding would also allow independent Notre Dame to receive a top-four seed and a first-round bye.

The College Football Playoff will use a more straightforward way of filling the bracket next season, placing teams strictly on where they are ranked.
