Here’s the good news for those who want to see an expanded College Football Playoff — it’s expected to happen.

“I don’t lose any sleep over whether we’re going to expand,” said one person engaged in the process, echoing many of the people engaged in the process who Yahoo Sports spoke with this week.
There’s a chance things get tidied up in the next few weeks, and the sport’s overlords channel their inner-Coastal/BYU and the 12-team College Football Playoff happens for the 2023 season.
