College Football Playoff is reportedly undergoing a small makeover.

Playoff made a major change from four to 12 teams last season, which brought some shortcomings.

Last season, the four highest ranked conference masters had Automatic byes and received the top four seeds. This year, the playoff bracket will be filled with equal sowing with five seats still reserved for conference masters, according to ESPN.

“After evaluating the first year of the 12-team playoffs, the CFP management committee thought it was in the best interest of the game to make this adjustment,” CFP CEO Rich Clark said in a statement. “This change will continue to provide guaranteed access to the playoffs by rewarding teams to win their conference championship, but it will also allow us to construct a postal season bracket that recognizes the best performance on the field throughout the normal season.”

If the new format was set last year, Oregon, Georgia, Texas and Penn State would all have had goodbye weeks. Instead, Texas and Penn State both had to play in the first round and won convincingly. Longhorns beat No. 12 Clemson (15 in the country), 38-24, and then defeated No. 4-seeded Arizona State, who had a goodbye as the Big 12 winner but was ranked as 11 in the country in double overtime.

ASU would have played Ohio State in a matchup of No. 11 and No. 6 seeds, while Boise State would have gone against Indiana in a match between No. 8 and No. 9 seeds if even grafting was used last season.

Instead, Boise State, Mountain West winner, had a goodbye in the quarterfinals as No. 3 -Seed, but was directed in the Fiesta Bowl by Penn State, a No. 6 seed, despite being in third place in the country. Nittany Lions defeated No. 11 SMU, 38-10, in the first round.

All four conference masters lost in the quarterfinals.

No. 8 Ohio State destroyed each team on his way on his way to a national title despite playing in the first round. However, Buckeyes did not make themselves many favors with their grafting. They lost at home against Michigan to end the regular season. But they were ranked No. 6 of the committee despite their No. 8 seeds.
