Four teams may not be enough for a college football playoff, according to ACC commissioner John Swofford.
Speaking at Wednesday’s weekly Durham Sports Club meeting at the Croasdaile Country Club, Swofford said an eight-team playoff, “in terms of the number of teams, would probably be ideal.”
This season marks the debut of a four-team College Football Playoff, replacing the BCS, which chose two teams for a national championship game.
“I don’t think all the controversy’s going to go away,” Swofford said of the new system. “You have four teams that get a chance to play for the national championship, which is twice as many as before, but whoever’s fifth or sixth is not going to be happy. There will be some conferences that won’t have a team in the playoff.”

Nobody is going to say anything the 1st ten years or so. IIRC they made it pretty much impossible to expand it during the first 12 yr contract.

I think four is perfect. The scheduling sets up great with the semis being on New Years and the final being right around when it used to be. I also dont want football to turn into college basketball where you get the feeling the best team didn't win it all. Keep it at four

Don't they have like a 15 year contract for the 4 team playoff?

Right after the four teams are announced.

Hopefully, an eight-team playoff is in the near future. Auto-bids for the champions of the P5 conferences and three at-large bids for the best of the rest would be much more fair than the present beauty contest.

Earlier today on ESPN radio their talking head "Danny Boy" said only conference champions should make the 4 team playoff. He'll throw a fit if the SEC gets 2 teams in.

Guess what happens in an 8 team playoff? 9th and 10th are unhappy and bitch.
Guess what happens in a 16 team playoff? 17th and 18th are unhappy and bitch.
The bitching will never stop.
