Harbaugh Suspension: Wolverines Look to Avoid Restraining Order

<p>The current four-team College Football Playoff format ends after the 2023 season. Beginning next year, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/ncaaf">college football</a> will have a 12-team playoff. There are still a few details to be worked out, but the format most believe will be adopted is as follows: the top four teams get a bye, with seeds five through twelve having first-round games at on-campus sites. The higher seed would host each first-round matchup, and the winners would advance to the waiting top four seeds in the quarterfinals. The plan is to pick the six highest-ranked conference champions and the six highest-ranked teams at large.</p>

<p>What would the bracket look like if the 12-team playoff was in place for this college football season? If results for the remainder of this season were to play out as expected, who would get a bye? Which teams would be hosting first-round games?</p>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;">

<tr>
<td style="width: 33.5598%; text-align: center;"><strong>Seed</strong></td>

<td style="width: 66.4402%; text-align: center;">Georgia Bulldogs (SEC Champion)</td>
</tr>

<td style="width: 33.5598%; text-align: center;">2-seed</td>
<td style="width: 66.4402%; text-align: center;">Michigan Wolverines (Big Ten Champion)</td>

<td style="width: 66.4402%; text-align: center;">Oregon Ducks (PAC-12 Champion)</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>There would be an argument about what to do with the PAC-12 and Big 12, as Texas and Oregon would have one loss and be conference champions. Oregon gets the nod with a better win over the Texas Longhorns in the conference championship game.</p>
<p>The first-round games would be fascinating on-campus matchups.</p>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 33.8315%; text-align: center;"><strong>Seeds</strong></td>
<td style="width: 66.1685%; text-align: center;"><strong>Teams</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 33.8315%; text-align: center;">12-seed at 5-seed</td>
<td style="width: 66.1685%; text-align: center;">Tulane (AAC Champion) at Texas (Big 12 Champion)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 33.8315%; text-align: center;">11-seed at 6-seed</td>
<td style="width: 66.1685%; text-align: center;">Louisville (at-large) at Ohio State (at-large)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 33.8315%; text-align: center;">10-seed at 7-seed</td>
<td style="width: 66.1685%; text-align: center;">Penn State (at-large) at Washington (at-large)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 33.8315%; text-align: center;">9-seed at 8-seed</td>
<td style="width: 66.1685%; text-align: center;">Missouri (at-large) at Alabama (at-large)</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The Texas Longhorns don&#8217;t get the first-round bye but get to host the Tulane Green Wave in Round 1. Louisville would be 11-2 if they won out in the regular season and then lost to Florida State in the ACC Championship Game. They would travel to 11-1 Ohio State, the best at-large team in the field. Penn State would be 10-2 and travel to 12-1 Washington, while Missouri would round out the bracket at Alabama. Those are conference foes, but they have not played in 2023, and the Tigers would be 10-2, with the Crimson Tide sitting at 11-2 after a loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. </p>
<p>This season is the last one where hypothetical brackets will be required. Whether you love or hate it, the 12-team playoff begins next season.</p>
