💨 Abstract

Commissioner Tim Pernetti advocates for a merit-based College Football Playoff system that doesn't guarantee spots to specific conferences. He supports a 12-team playoff with the five highest-ranked conference champions and several at-large spots. Pernetti opposes predetermined bids to larger conferences, stressing that all teams should earn their place through on-field performance. He criticizes any system that favors certain programs, citing the historical flaws of the Bowl Championship Series.
