The CFB website says they get preference

Who knows what the heck that means but it says it: The No. 1 seed will receive preferential placement for the Playoff Semifinal bowl assignment on Selection Day. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2024/5/29/12-te...

They only care about TV money.**
97Hokie • 01/08/26 05:31 PM ET
Brackets, dates & locations were set in advance of the quarter finals
marcbvtgm • 01/08/26 03:29 PM ET
Indiana chose it.**
Gobbler-100 • 01/08/26 02:49 PM ET
No**

1 seed gets preference **
Gobbler-100 • 01/08/26 05:41 PM ET
How? Semi-final date/location for IU-Bama winner was set before the game.
marcbvtgm • 01/08/26 05:50 PM ET
No one seems to know how this works. Indiana gets preference but...
MVIII • 01/08/26 03:59 PM ET
Agree overall that makes more sense but as the #1 seed, Im guessing IU
HwoodHokie • 01/08/26 02:17 PM ET
No way, for the fan base, AZ is much better to get away from the Midwest
TheNuke • 01/08/26 02:45 PM ET
Atlanta is a day drive for IU. What are you talking about?**
HwoodHokie • 01/08/26 02:55 PM ET
Nobody vacations in Atlanta in January**
TheNuke • 01/08/26 10:39 PM ET
Nobody cares about vacations; its giving your fans the easiest travel
HwoodHokie • 01/08/26 11:07 PM ET
Your opinion, not mine**
TheNuke • 01/09/26 01:18 PM ET
Thats true, and fine. But under your logic if VT was playing Oregon in CFP
HwoodHokie • 01/09/26 01:39 PM ET
I think the neutral site thing is mostly dumb to begin with.**

the team's playoff seedings determined the playoff brackets, which
squarerootofone • 01/08/26 01:50 PM ET
I understand they are set but did the Fiesta get to pick before the Peach?
MVIII • 01/08/26 02:14 PM ET
There was no choosing- seeds were pre-slotted.**
True Hokie • 01/08/26 02:17 PM ET
I answered my own question, Indiana gets to choose as the #1 seed.
MVIII • 01/08/26 02:19 PM ET
No**
marcbvtgm • 01/08/26 03:39 PM ET
Source?**
MVIII • 01/08/26 04:49 PM ET
The internet and logic since everything was set before the quarter final's.
