Sankey: 12-Team Model is Best Option for Replacing Four-Team Playoff

Months after a move to a 12-team College Football Playoff seemed like an inevitability, Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger reports that it looks like that expansion could be tabled for another year. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey doesn't seem too broken up about that idea, given his league's domination of the four-team CFP system, though if expansion does come, he confirmed to Paul Finebaum that he prefers a 12-team model to eight teams, or some of the other ideas that have been floated in expansion talks.

“If we are going to move off the four-team format, the proposed 12-team model works well and compared to others, works best,” Sankey told Finebaum, per Dellenger.
