CHARLOTTE — Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and North Carolina’s Mack Brown have both been outspoken on their and their players’ feelings about an expanded College Football Playoff.
Swinney said at his annual gathering with the local Clemson media on Tuesday he was not in favor of expanding the playoffs from four teams to 12, saying the main objective can be achieved with four teams just as much as 12. He also stated most of his players were against expanding the CFP.
Brown brought up similar concerns from his players earlier this month.
During his Commissioners Forum, as part of the 2021 ACC Football Kickoff Wednesday from the Westin in Uptown Charlotte, new ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said there is a concern on his part, as well, and he has heard the issues brought up by the ACC’s two most prominent head coaches.
