After just one season, the move from a four-team playoff to a 12-team playoff has resulted in ongoing discussions of expanding the playoff even more. Conference commissioners are open to expanding, but haven't been able to agree on how to do so.
Most notably, the Big Ten is not on board with the "5+11" model, which would give each Power 4 and one Non-Power 4 conference champion automatic bids, with the 11 other spots going to at-large teams. Big Ten commissioner Tony Pettiti isn't in favor of that model, and believes the SEC should move to a nine-game league schedule like his conference does.
