College Football Playoff expansion: Dan Patrick reports details and timing regarding December vote
Published:
For the past few years, expanding the College Football Playoff has been the talk of the college football world because it has seemed more of an invitational than a true playoff to some.
According to Dan Patrick, the College Football Playoff is for sure moving to a 12 team playoff; the date on when though is not set in stone.
“The 12-team Playoff is a go,” said Patrick. “They want to get it done for the 2023 season…if it’s not approved next month, the Playoff going to 12 teams will not be a go until 2025.”
When asked if the College Football Playoff is for sure moving to 12 teams, here was Patrick’s response:
“Yes,” said Patrick when asked if it is going to 12 teams regardless. “Yes. If not 2023, then 2025.”
CORRECTION: The Vote in December for a 12-team College Football Playoff expansion would go into effect in 2023. NOT NEXT SEASON. If it’s not approved in December then it wouldn’t be a go until 2025. #CFBPlayoff https://t.co/WGvJ67xtoC pic.twitter.com/Nm7c9iqlrW

This is excellent news for all college football fans who were tired of the committee picking between the 4 best teams and seemingly no real criteria to base their rankings. It will be interesting to see if the vote for expansion does indeed go through in December.
