Today’s College Football Playoff commissioners meeting included a discussion of growing the field to 14 or more in 2026 and beyond.

Also discussed potentially more auto-bids for leagues.

“We discussed everything,” AAC commissioner Mike Aresco says. “No conclusions.”

quote:

Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti called today the most productive CFP meeting he’s been a part of.

“We talked about some formatting and 14 came up. We’ve got more work to do.”

There's not 14 teams that can win it all. Never has been, even when we just had the vote...especially now with a few programs dominating the NIL collectives.

They just want to guarantee that certain teams make it every year. Cut it to 8 and make the top 4-5 conference champs.

Keep it at 12, give all the other teams a participation trophy for their trophy case plus orange slices and a juice box for each player. That should calm folks down.

You had people bitching about the 4 team playoff before it was played. The grass ain't always greener

People don’t give a shite about bowl games anymore, might as well follow all the other major sports and just have a giant playoffs at the end of the year

Even tho this is true, I still think byes are stupid in a cfb playoff.

We're gonna have 5 conference champs in, 4 get a bye, 1 will have to play an extra game and risk injury based on the infallible "eye test"

12 is already too many. Should’ve been 8 with 5 conference champs and 3 at-large

The only logical argument in favor of expanding the playoffs at this point is that it probably curbs the trend of players opting out of meaningless bowl games. The 4th and 5th best SEC and B1G teams don’t deserve playoff spots

Can't wait to get together with family and friends on New Year's Day for games and be like "oh, this is just a quarterfinal."

We’re rapidly approaching a situation where there are just two conferences - if we ain’t there already - so more auto bids is a crap idea.
