The ACC wants to double the number of teams in the College Football Playoff. The conference’s coaches and athletic directors voiced their unanimous support for expanding the CFP to 24 teams during a joint meeting Tuesday at the conference’s spring meetings outside Jacksonville.
ACC commissioner Jim Phillips was also in attendance for the meeting, sources told CBS Sports, and he addressed the idea of expansion with reporters on Wednesday morning.
“It’s been very consistent in what I’ve indicated … when you’re leaving national championship-contending teams out of the playoff, you don’t have the right number,” Phillips said.
