Lane Kiffin knows that the College Football Playoff is set to expand sooner rather than later. What form that will take is another story.
What’s clear, though, is the number of teams the Ole Miss head coach feels should be in the field, while admitting there’s no perfect system.
“The best system would be 16, and it would be the 16 best,” Kiffin said at the SEC spring meetings in Destin on Tuesday, according to On3’s Andy Staples.
There are plenty of scenarios an expanded Playoff could take. The format being floated around that’s gained the most traction — and most controversy — is a 16-team field that would take a 4-4-2-2-1 model. The SEC and Big Ten would receive 4 bids each, the ACC and Big 12 2 each, and the Group of Five 1 bid. The remaining 3 bids would be for at-large teams.
Whether that format is the one that’s pursued at the end of the day remains to be seen, but Playoff expansion looks less than a matter of “if” and more a matter of “when”, or, for that matter, “how”. If Kiffin had his way, 16 teams would be the way to go.
