STILLWATER — Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy hears the nationwide talk about an expanded College Football Playoff, and he wonders why people haven't been listening to him.
Gundy is aboard the hype train for an eight-team playoff that is consistently gaining steam, even claiming to have been its conductor ever since the four-team format was introduced in 2014.
"Nobody ever listens to me," Gundy said. "They need to go to eight.
"It's just a matter of time that someone's going to follow order and do like I said five years ago."
His model lines up with many of the suggestions out there: The eight teams who make up the playoff should be the champions of the Power 5 conferences, one Group of 5 team and two wild cards.
