Lincoln Riley supports expanded playoff

College Football Playoff expansion talk has heated up, probably pointlessly, as I wrote about in the Friday Oklahoman. You can read that column here.

But count Lincoln Riley as a supporter of expansion.

Riley on Thursday joined Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski’s Sirius XM show, “Basketball and Beyond with Coach K.” I know, I know, sounds like insufferable radio, listening to Krzyzewski. But maybe some football talk made it bearable.

Anyway, Coach K asked Riley about expanding the playoff from four to eight teams.

“I think everybody would like to see more,” Riley said.
