Last week, The Athletic ran a story with a headline saying there’s been some serious discussion about moving the College Football Playoff to eight teams instead of four.

However, on Monday, CFP executive director Bill Hancock pumped the brakes on that speculation.

As you can hear below, Hancock joined SiriusXM on Monday and said that while he is a subscriber of The Athletic, he felt that the headline of the article was very misleading:

“The story last week was a serious exaggeration of where things stand, particularly the headline,” he said. “If you dug deeper and got beyond the headline, a lot of people didn’t say what the headline said they said. Anyway, my point here is that since the Playoff started, many people have had thoughts on how to structure it. … People have always shared their thoughts. … The fact is, the commissioners and the presidents who manage it have not talked about new formats yet. They know the time will come, but the time hasn’t come yet.”

So, that’s where things stand for now. It was interesting, though, that Hancock acknowledged that conversations would need to be had down the road.
