With first College Football Playoff rankings of 2022 released... what would an expanded 12-team field look like? slmandel test drives the proposed format. Read more:
No. 11 Ole Miss at No. 6 Michigan, 4 p.m.The four first-round games will be played on the campuses of the Nos. 5-8 seeds during the third weekend in December. Which games get placed in which slots would likely be determined by ESPN, with LSU-Alabama as the obvious Saturday prime-time selection.
And hey, Big Ten fans’ long-held “SEC team has to go play up North in December” fantasy finally comes to fruition with Ole Miss playing at Michigan.Fiesta Bowl: No. 4 TCU vs. Georgia-Tulane winner, 1 p.m.Sugar Bowl: No. 1 Tennessee vs. Oregon-USC winner, 8:45 p.m. It is expected that the current New Year’s Six bowls will rotate hosting the quarterfinals and semifinals, with a goal of playing most quarterfinals on New Year’s Day. And the CFP board stated in its announcement that the top four seeds will be assigned “in consideration of current contract bowl relationships.”Using those parameters, No. 1 seed Tennessee would go the SEC’s contract bowl, the Sugar Bowl, and No. 2 seed Ohio State to the Rose Bowl as Big Ten champion.
The commissioners have not officially determined the dates of the semifinals, but they would have to be at least a week later than the quarterfinals, and the CFP would avoid scheduling them opposite the NFL’s Wild Card weekend . That likely means placing one on Thursday night and the other on Friday night.
The CFP board’s announcement said “the higher seeds would receive preferential placement in the Playoff semifinal games.” That would depend on which teams win their quarterfinals, but if No. 1 seed Tennessee advanced, Knoxville is effectively equidistant between the two sites so could theoretically go to either. We picked the Orange.The title game is expected to remain on Monday night, as the NFL’s Divisional Round has a stranglehold on potential weekend dates.
