The College Football Playoff committee has the responsibility of assigning the top 25 teams in the country. In addition to ranking the teams, the CFP committee must assign the top four to semifinal sites, create competitive matchups, consider geography, and attempt to avoid rematches of regular-season games and repeat appearances in specific bowls.
