Mike Leach Makes Proposal for 64-Team College Football Playoff, Again

Washington State head coach Mike Leach is known for going against the grain.

For example, Leach's Air Raid attack with the Cougars averaged a gaudy 64 pass attempts per game last season, which was the first in the College Football Playoff era.

And that's the exact number of teams Leach wants to see in future editions of the playoff—64.

According to Heather Dinich of ESPN.com, Leach said Wednesday in a playoff-specific interview with the network that he wants to see the four-team field expand exponentially.

"I don’t know why you don’t have 64 teams," Leach said.
