The Big 12 and ACC have pushed the model, which would award automatic bids to the five highest-rated conference champions, plus 11 at-large bids determined by the CFP selection committee.
The Big 12 had only one representative, champion Arizona State, in the inaugural 12-team CFP last year.
"Five-11 is fair," Yormark said Tuesday in his opening address at Big 12 media days at The Star.
In March, the CFP named a Big 12 athletic director, Baylor's Mack Rhoades, as the chair of its selection committee.
The Big 12 will have the Week 0 stage as Iowa State and Kansas State renew their rivalry in Dublin.
