According to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, the SEC and Big Ten are aiming to alter how teams in the CFP are seeded and how first-round byes are awarded.

New Orleans – The Big Ten and Southeastern Conference commissioners said Wednesday they will push for something closer to “straight seeding” in the College Football Playoff next season to give less of a break to lesser-ranked conference champs and better reflect how teams are ranked by the playoff selection committee.

The change supported by the leagues would eliminate the reservation of top-four seeds and first-round byes for conference champions.
