FRISCO, Texas -- Big 12 champion Arizona State was the lone team from the league to reach the 12-team College Football Playoff last year.
Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark told ESPN on Wednesday that it's incumbent on the teams in the league to improve on that output and put multiple teams in the CFP.
"I think it credentializes our progress," he said of having multiple teams in the CFP. "I think we need to, and it's on the football programs to perform at a high level and to get there."
Arizona State lost to Texas in a double-overtime classic in Atlanta, which Yormark called "probably the most exciting game of the CFP.
