Dan Lanning voices support for potential CFP expansion

Dan Lanning believes a potential expansion of the College Football Playoff is beneficial for the sport.

College Football Playoff Commissioner Dan Lanning expressed support for potential expansion of the playoff field. Despite Oregon's recent success in the playoff, Lanning recognizes that adding more teams could bring financial benefits from increased television revenue. He argued that a longer postseason, potentially including 16 or 24 teams, would engage more fans, reduce the burden of the portal, and create more revenue.

Lanning's preference for a 24-team playoff model aims to maintain the competitive spirit akin to March Madness, where the best team ultimately prevails.
