The majority of college football coaches apparently are down with the playoff adding more teams.
According to 247Sports, AFCA executive director Todd Berry said coaches “overwhelmingly support” playoff expansion during a talk at the AFCA Virtual Convention earlier in the week. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Berry didn’t specify which programs and coaches support the move, but did add, “We didn’t get into the detail other than the fact that currently we feel like for both opportunity and for fairness across the board.”

As I’ve said many times before, the playoff is going to expand. It’s going to happen. It’s not a matter of if. It’s a matter of when.
If anything, the pandemic and schools needing money will only accelerate the inevitable, which is great news for fans.
Bring on expansion!

Now, how should it be done? Well, I’ve said for years you go with the P5 champions and three at-large bids. If a G5 team is undefeated and in the top 10, then they would automatically get one of the at-large bids.

Let’s get the playoff to at least eight teams and go from there. Trust me, it’s the right thing to do, it’ll make more money and the fans will love it.
See, this is why they call me King in the North for college football! I’m always one step ahead of the pack!
