McMurphy: ADs overwhelmingly support CFP expansion, when current contract expire

McMurphy polled all 130 athletic directors and 112 responded. A solid 88% favored expansion.

An 8-team playoff was supported by 72%. The most favored format was automatic berths for the P5 champions and the highest-ranked non-P5 plus two at-large berths.

ADs Overwhelmingly Favor Expanded College Football Playoff

Are we getting that much closer to a bigger field?

I can probably guess who the 12% who didn't want it are

13 ADs - probably almost exclusively SEC and Big Ten schools is my guess.

I'm not sure about the Big Ten. While they have gotten into the playoff a lot,

The SEC absolutely wants an 8 team playoff. Both teams in the SECCG along with

But Notre Dame is our BFF in independence 😉

Plus Wyoming, Colo State, SDSU (et al) are still butt-hurt about independence

That settles it. The big debate will be how to implement.

All conference champs getting auto-bids would force us to join a conference

AAC might be tops, but likely will not get that spot 9 out of 10 times. Maybe

The MWC is a contender for the g5 bid, for sure.

Only the P5 conf champs would be included. One G5 and 2 at large (P5).

Ugh, 16 teams is worse than 4. Teams with legitimate chances of winning the CFP

You could say the same thing about March Madness...12-14 conferences that have

I like 16 too. Then all conf champs and 5 at large. Round 1&2 at higher seed.

I like all-champs CFP model, but would have play-in games, not 16-team model

Doogal McCougar

Would you do 12 teams then with 10 champs plus 2 at-large?

jreid191

4/9/20 11:03am

I see it more more like the WCC tournament. 14 teams - 10 champs, 4 wild cards

Doogal McCougar

I don't see a 5 round playoff ever happening in CFB. Even the NFL only has 4.
