ALTOONA, Pa. -- This was inevitable, in the sense that everyone in college football expected it to happen, but that doesn't make it any less historic what finally occurred Friday afternoon.
The College Football Playoff is expanding from four to 12 teams.
And that is wonderful news for both Penn State and Pitt. Oh, and everyone else in college football, including and especially perhaps Notre Dame.
"We're all delighted with the management committee of the board of managers' decision to expand the playoff to 12 teams," CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock said during a press conference.
