A financial compromise was discussed on Tuesday among the 11 -member group, sources say.

In the current 12 -team playoff format, the top four seeds are reserved for the four highest-ranked conference champions.

Big Ten and SEC leaders are exploring a 14- or 16 -team format that would assign multiple automatic qualifiers to individual conferences.

Money is the centerpiece of any change to the playoff's current distribution model.

Under the current model, each team earns $4 million for qualifying for the CFP , another $6 million for advancing to the semifinals and $ 6 more for competing in the title game.

Notre Dame , an independent, is not eligible for a first -round bye in the current format.
