The College Football Playoff management committee is considering a potential expansion of its field, according to ESPN's Heather Dinich.

The CFP management committee is considering "dozens of possibilities for future expansion," according to ESPN. A new playoff field could reportedly have anywhere from six to 16 teams.

Under the current format, four teams reach the College Football Playoff.

An expanded playoff field would not go into effect for the 2021 or 2022 season, CFP executive director Bill Hancock said.

"There will not be a new format this season or next season," Hancock told ESPN.
