College Football Playoff President Mark Keenum offered skepticism toward potential expansion on Monday and stated that it is "much too soon" to consider expanding past the current four-team bracket.
"As far as expanding the number of teams in the Playoff, it's way too soon – much too soon – to know if that is even a possibility," Keenum said in a statement. "It's fair to say the speculation about expansion has outdistanced the reality of what commissioners and the presidents have discussed."
The fifth year of the College Football Playoff will come to a close on Monday night as Alabama faces Clemson at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
