CFP 'kicking the tires' on 12-team playoff

College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock says the management committee reviewed the proposal from the working group of a 12-team playoff and the process will continue to move forward.

The CFP management committee spent the last 24 hours in Chicago thoroughly examining the recommendation from the working group.

“We said this is the beginning,” Hancock said Friday to the media on the press conference call, including The Clemson Insider. “It is very much just the beginning, and it is very much the beginning of the process that will not be concluded before September.”

At next Tuesday’s board of managers meeting in Dallas, the management committee will ask the board to authorize the solicitation of feedback over the next few weeks and months with groups that are expected to include student-athletes, university presidents and chancellors, athletics directors, and coaches to inform them about the details of the 12-team proposal, and also to begin feasibility assessments of any new format.
