Power 5 commissioner says ‘temper expectations’ on CFP expansion

It seems talk on expanding the College Football Playoff is beginning to lose some steam, at least that is the way ESPN reporter Heather Dinich reported it on ESPN’s Get Up Show Wednesday morning.

On Tuesday, the CFP board authorized the management committee to begin a summer review phase that will engage other important voices about expanding the playoff from four teams to 12. This will include many people on campuses, such as student-athletes, athletics directors, faculty athletics representatives, coaches, and university presidents and chancellors.

They also want to discuss the proposal with the bowls, primarily the Orange, Rose, Sugar, Peach, Fiesta and Cotton Bowls, and their broadcast partners at ESPN, and have them consult in the feasibility of the 12-team proposal.
