The current 12 team CFP format will end this football season and beginning with next year increase to a 24 team format for losers. The powers that be takes the position that the new format will increase competition, but it will not. Money is the driving force to expand just like it was for the NFL expansion many years ago.
There are 32 teams in the NFL and at the end of the regular season only 35% of those teams have winning records year in and year out. When expansion was first started, everyone was told it would increase competition and create parity with the common draft, but it never did. Later, wild card teams were added to the NFL playoffs which only resulted in more TV revenue. It is obvious they did not belong since only 7 wild card teams have ever won a Super Bowl in all the years of the event.
The greed for money in college sports is now front and center and the sports media is pushing the competition thing and even parity to justify the changes. It's the same thing the powers to be are pushing. But parity and competition will not take place because there are simply not enough good coaches available.
The bottom line is a 24 team CFP is for losers and only those teams who have won something like a division or conference should be rewarded. The other teams will have to wait another year.
