College Football Playoff Expanding to 12 Teams?

We’re in the middle of June and things are really heating up on the recruiting front so it only seems logical that the NCAA totally shifts focus and stirs up rumors around the College Football Playoff.

What rumors, exactly? Well, Yahoo Sports reported earlier this week that a College Football Playoff management committee has been tasked with exploring expansion of the existing playoff format. That task doesn’t come with any specific outcomes in mind, just exploring potential scenarios to present to the broader group in a meeting on July 17-18 in Chicago.

Despite not having a specific outcome in mind, there seems to be consensus building that an expansion does make sense.
