ACC, Big 12 Support 24-Team College Football Playoff
According to On3's Brett McMurphy, both the ACC and the Big 12 support a 24-team College Football Playoff. "We like 24, we want 24," Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark told On3. "There are too many teams getting left out, and 24 teams provides the type of access that is warranted." ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips echoed Yormark's opinion. "When you're leaving national championship-contending teams out of the playoff, you don't have the right number," Phillips said. "We lived through it, we suffered through it with Florida State, when the field was four." Three of the four Power 4 conference commissioners are now in support of a 24-team field, as the Big Ten's Tony Petitti was the first one on this wave. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey remains opposed to 24 teams, instead preferring 16 teams. Either way, CFP expansion seems imminent, and it's starting to sound like the 24-team model is getting more likely as time moves forward.
