Legendary Alabama and Texas A&M coach Gene Stallings is still an active commenter on the sport today.

Recently, he spoke at a high school for a fundraiser, and he had some comments afterward about the current College Football Playoff system.

Stallings would like to see the tournament expanded to eight teams, and also added that he thinks the earlier games should be played at the higher seeds’ home stadiums to help fans with travel costs (via AL.com):

Stallings also voiced support for tweaking the College Football Playoff, including expanding to eight teams, giving major conference champions an automatic bid and scaling back the regular season to accommodate an expanded field.

Most notably, he said first-round playoff games should be played at home sites.

“Somewhere along the line, we’ve got to give some kind of consideration to the fans,” Stallings said. “The fans that follow Alabama, they can’t go to the West Coast this week and the East Coast next week. They just can’t do that.”

That’s an interesting idea, but with so many elite bowl games in the rotation for Playoff games, it’s unlikely to ever be a reality.

If the Playoff does expand to eight teams, though, it is possible that the first-round games could be held at the higher seed’s home field.
