ESPN analysts comment on Swinney's opposition to CFP expansion

Dabo Swinney made it clear on Tuesday during Clemson’s media outing at the Allen N. Reeves Football Complex that the Tigers are not in favor of a 12-team College Football Playoff.

“Our team isn’t for it,” the Tigers’ head coach said. “I’ve met with my team. Our team wasn’t for it. They don’t want to play more games, and to be honest with you, I don’t think there’s 12 teams good enough. So you’ve got to play more games just to play more games. And I think the more you expand it, the less important the season becomes and again, the more you become the NFL as far as oh you’re in the playoffs, well, why play Trevor (Lawrence) in this game?
