CFP managers delay decision on playoff spots for conference champs amid Pac-12 uncertainty

Pac-12 stability uncertain after most members announce plans to leave for other conferences.
Playoff set to expand from 4 to 12 teams, with 6 highest-ranked conference champs getting automatic bids.
Some suggest changing 6 automatic bids to 5 if Pac-12 dissolves, but no final decision made yet.
AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco initially pushed for 5+7 model starting in 2024, but later clarified support for current 6+6 format through 2025.
CFP officials met with potential media partners but postponed format changes until Pac-12 situation resolves.
