Currently there is a petition that carries all the presidents signatures from every FBS school that is being presented to the playoff committee.

The petition outlines for the playoffs to be expanded to 8 teams. Autobids for each P5 champion, autobid for highest ranked G5 champ, and 2 at-large bids.

Petition also mentions that they would prefer to have the first round games be played at the home field of the top 4 and let the semifinals and championship game continue the current bowl format.

Playoff committee will take the petition to the network to attempt to reopen the contract that still has I believe 7 years remaining.

It’s assumed the network will approve it due to the high ratings that CFP games has attained. Adding one more round of games seems like a no-lose scenario.

It is not likely any changes would be implemented by next season but if approved we could see 8 teams for the 2020 season.

As far as expansion of conferences is concerned, autobids for P5 will shore up and save the Pac12 like it did the BIgEast during the BCS days even if there are multiple defections as long as a strong nucleus is in place with the California and Oregon schools.

Which means if Pac12 loses 2-4 teams to expansion there will most likely be spots available to some G5 schools for backfill.

My money would be on BYU and Houston being the two most attractive immediate options.
