DALLAS — There has been no discussion among the group that runs the college football playoff about adding more teams.

College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said Friday that there were plenty of reasons why a four-team model was picked, and nothing has changed that after the first of a 12-year contract.

“We know we were able to keep the regular season and keep the bowls, keep the experience and the tradition of the bowls,” Hancock said. “So this worked out really, really well. We couldn’t be happier.”

Larger brackets were toyed with when the playoff concept was first being put together. But some things are preventing an expansion: notably, more travel for teams and fans and the locations for extra games.

As for the committee selecting the teams, there could be fewer meetings with fewer rankings next season, though those will still be in person.

That committee gathered seven times over a six-week period this season at a resort hotel near the Dallas-Fort Worth airport.

“With a shorter season, I think it will be pretty easy to lop off one week and we might knock another one off,” Hancock said, noting there are 14 weeks, instead of 15 next season.
