It’s unclear what the College Football Playoff is going to look like down the road, but it’s becoming more clear that changes are coming, and they’re coming soon. Expansion has been a hot topic in recent weeks, and it sounds like the sport is trending toward a 16-team CFP. That could end up being great for a conference like the SEC that typically has a good chunk of teams ranked in the top-16, but Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks hopes to see some consistency there.
College Football Playoff expansion models are on the table, and 16 is the number that has been floated around the most. If teams are ranked how they are ranked now, that could lead to the SEC getting six or maybe even more teams into the CFP each year.
“If we were to go to 16, there’s arguments we made about four-four this and that, but then you look at and go 5 and 11, we’ve had a glut of teams in that 13 and 16 range,” Brooks said on Sirius XM Radio. “If we trust the committee to hold true, and historically you look at the top 16 over the last 10 years and say, ‘Man, we’d be averaging five or six a year, we’d be in good shape.’ But you would ask the committee that, okay, now that it’s 16 for ranking, don’t start having new criteria … You want to hold true to that.”
Before everyone gets too far ahead of themselves, Josh Brooks wants to know how the teams are going to be picked. For example, Alabama was ranked inside the top-12 to end the year last season, but the Crimson Tide didn’t make the 12-team CFP.
“But I think what we’ve got to fix first before we talk about nine games, eight games, or 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, whatever, we got to get down to the root of the problem and really talk about how we’re going to decide, whether it’s 12 teams, 14 teams, how are we deciding?” Brooks asked.
No matter what the new CFP model ends…
