SEC commissioner Greg Sankey is reportedly weary about the idea of expanding the College Football Playoff from its current 12-team format to 24 teams, as has been gaining traction amongst college football’s coaches in recent weeks.
“To me, there is a tipping point in November where a game … that goes from, ‘Hey, we’re at 6-2 hanging on for dear life, we really don’t have a chance at a four-team playoff but you’ve been brought into it in the 12 team playoff,’ can go the other way, where a team two
weeks out is in and feels good about hosting or not hosting depending on how large you go,” Sankey said, according to 247Sports.
