No College Football Playoff team expansions.
We have concluded our annual meeting of the College Football Playoff Board of Managers. As we do every year, we meet alongside the commissioners, and Notre Dame’s Athletics Director, to review the ongoing operations of the Playoff, now entering its sixth year.
It is our unanimous agreement that the Playoff has been a tremendous success for students, fans, and universities. We are very proud of it. Fans love to watch it and we look forward to its continued success.
When it comes to the Playoff, as part of our normal review, we always look at everything and we will do so again.
Our job as university presidents is to listen to a variety of views, as we do every day back on campus, and every year when we consider how best to run the CFP. Academics, student-athlete well-being, existing contractual agreements and the overall good of the game are just a few of the issues we consider. At all times, we want our students who play sports to be successful in college and in life.
As far as expanding the number of teams in the Playoff, it’s way too soon – much too soon – to know if that is even a possibility. It’s fair to say the speculation about expansion has outdistanced the reality of what the commissioners and the presidents have discussed. If a decision were to be made down the road, the Presidents would be the ones to make it and we are not there.
At some point down the road, as part of our regular review of all matters pertaining to the Playoff, the management committee will meet, and it will consider all aspects of the Playoff, as it routinely does. When that discussion happens, I advise observers not to read too much into it. We have a twelve-year contract we are very happy with. It is always appropriate to ask the right questions and to examine every issue to be sure we have things right. We are very satisfied with the Playoff and look forward to its continued success.

Mark Richt is a good guy but not a championship team coach.
He would make a good commentator.
Damn.... Lose one game the whole year, and it would have to be this one:bang Head:.
Kudos to the Clemson defense, they covered our receivers like an iron-curtain.
It doesn't matter how good your quarterback throws if the receivers are covered up.

Excellent choice. Fortunately for us, it's his last year.
Let's see now, Clemson's head coach came from Alabama. OU's QB will be from Alabama. Plenty of outstanding NFL players came from Alabama...
Seems like it's Alabama that needs to build a wall:bang Head:.

And then there's that guy:bang Head:.
I guess if our biggest problem is leaking talented people out into the country, we can live with that
.(even if it comes back to bite us in the ass) [insert bulldog picture here]
And here's why:
"NEW YORK (AP) — A record number of college football players will bypass their remaining years of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.
The 135 players forgoing eligibility surpasses the 119 from last year. The NFL released the official list on Friday. There are 103 underclassmen eligible for the April 25-27 draft. Another 32 players have graduated but still have college eligibility.
The vast majority of players made their intentions known ahead of Monday’s NFL deadline. Among the most notable were Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray of Oklahoma and Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
Alabama has seven players among the 135, the most of any school, including All-America defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, All-America safety Deionte Thompson and All-America offensive tackle Jonah Williams. Ohio State and Oklahoma each have six players.
Murray has already signed a contract with the Oakland Athletics after being selected in the first round of the MLB draft in June. Murray has yet to break his deal with the A’s, but he could abandon it to play in the NFL. Murray, who is listed at 5-foot-10 and 195, had a spectacular season with the Sooners and is a possible first-round pick by NFL teams."
Go Pro my son!
He is. He has already declared for the NFL draft.

I read the comments below the article and am amazed at how full of knowledge everyone is considering that no team has even played a single game yet
.It's like they have have just been muzzled for months and it's finally been ripped off.
I like Candy...!!
