My $.02 - let the leagues with Autobids submit their participants. I don't want them allocated by committees.

Committee is certainly welcome to coordinate rankings in the postseason tournament - it's their competition and as such, their prerogative.
But if you're telling me SEC it gets four in, I think we should submit the four.

If they do it that way, it will be pretty funny when a 4-8 Alabama team gets in ...

The Big Ten and SEC are trying to change the seeding in the College Football Playoff​

Both conferences are trying to change the seeding process in the CFP next season and beyond.

The Big Ten and SEC have a massive fight on their hands while trying to change CFP seeding​

While they believe this would make more sense, they have a huge fight on their hands. Any change having to deal with seeding will require a unanimous vote from all of the Power 4 conferences. That means getting the Big 12 and the ACC on board with this plan.

Both conferences are pushing back hard with this proposal. They think it is fairer to keep things the way that they are. They aren't wrong. The Big Ten and SEC are just trying to push the other conferences around into doing whatever they want. Everyone else knows it.

The issue is that they might not win this fight, especially if they are about to change the format to a 14 or 16-team format. The Buckeyes would benefit from this change, but it wouldn't be good for college football at large. That's what this seeding change is about.

It doesn't look like this change is going to happen for the 2025 season, but it still might. If it doesn't happen this year, it will almost certainly happen next year (i.e. 2026) once these two conferences seize power of the CFP.
