College Football Playoff expansion is coming.
It may not be in 2022, but it won’t be long after. Discussions over expansion have been around since the first CFP replaced the BCS system in 2014.
The CFP was said to be solution to an exclusionary BCS process that many felt struggled to identify the best team and often left us with controversy following the national title game. Now, however, we’ve just moved the bar. While the fifth-ranked team likely doesn’t have much claim to being the best team in the country and/or being deserving of a national title spot, many believe that the larger the playoff, the more teams will have had a fair shot at winning a national title.
