Coaches at the Big Ten spring meetings made clear they want the College Football Playoff to expand to 24 teams, according to ESPN. The push was described as adamant, with early conversations at the meetings reflecting broad support for the idea among coaches in the conference.
The 24-team proposal originated less than a year ago and has since spread beyond the Big Ten, picking up backing from coaches in the ACC and Big 12 as well. The current playoff format uses 12 teams.
No vote or formal proposal timeline was included in the report, but the level of coach support described at the spring meetings suggests the idea is gaining traction heading into future discussions about the playoff structure.
