It seems like every year we get talk about expanding the college football playoff but it appears that an eight team playoff format is close to becoming a reality.

Sports Illustrated college football writer Ross Dellenger reports that several ADs are floating a playoff model that would see eight teams play and would include five power conference teams getting an automatic bid.

It would probably take a few years to implement according to Dellenger.

Here’s what this year’s college football playoffs would look like if they were expanded to eight teams.

While the idea is definitely interesting a four team playoff system seems perfectly fine at the moment.
