Swinney not a fan of expanding College Football Playoff

If Dabo Swinney had his way, he would bring back the old Bowl Championship Series.

The Clemson head coach was very adamant that he does not want to see the College Football Playoff Field expanded to six or eight teams following Friday’s practice at the Poe Indoor Practice Facility in Clemson.

Since the 2019 College Football Playoff Field was announced on Dec. 2, there have been proponents from the Big 12 and Big Ten, including Wisconsin athletic director and former CFP Committee member Barry Alvarez, that want to see the playoff expand.

Most want to see it expand to an 8-team playoff field, while others just want to see it be bigger than the current four-team playoff field that makes up the CFP.
