CFP Committee Exploring Expansion Options, Including 16-Team Playoff Format

The NCAA College Football Playoff committee heard from a working group exploring potential changes to the four-team format at its annual spring meeting this week, with the group reviewing multiple options including a field of up to 16 teams, executive director Bill Hancock said in a statement.

In all, the working group comprised of four CFP committee members has reviewed 63 proposals for change with six-, eight-, 10-, 12 and 16-team options for the postseason tournament. No change to the four-team playoff appears imminent, however, as the working group is continuing to review options, and the committee reaffirmed its belief in the four-team format.
