Going to 14 is also about taking away the Bye from the Big 12/ACC.
With a 12 team playoff, there are four schools that get a Bye. 99% of the time that would mean the champion of the B1G, SEC, Big 12, and ACC would each get a bye.
With a 14 team playoff, there are only two schools that get a bye. 99% of the time that will be the SEC and the B1G. The Big 12 and the ACC (if it still exists) lose out.
SEC, Big Ten would hold rights to first-round byes in new proposed CFP format
Such a concept — guaranteed byes for the Big Ten and SEC — is an unusual but somewhat expected maneuver from college football’s goliaths.
