College Football Playoff will not expand in 2020, despite suggestion from Pac-12's Larry Scott

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott has changed his tune when it comes to College Football Playoff expansion, at least for the 2020 season.

Last week, after the Pac-12 announced it would launch its football season in November, Scott told reporters that there was “no serious momentum or discussion around expansion.”

“We’re committed to traditional dates,” Scott said.

Six days later, Scott suggested expanding the field from four teams to eight teams for the current season. He did so during Wednesday’s CFP management committee meeting, CFP executive director Bill Hancock told ESPN.

The suggestion did not gain any traction.
