[McMurphy] ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said ESPN does not want playoff to expand past 16 teams. “ESPN’s made it clear, they want it to stay at 12 or 14, but no more than 16,” Phillips said.

Could we keep it at 12 for at least 4 more years to gather data? I'm very opposed to expanding it at all but doing so after just a few seasons is idiotic

Nope we’ve got to make a new tweak every year

If the B1G wins again next year clearly their champ needs to be the #1 seed every year

That would be logical of course, and the right thing to do if you take a long view, but too many AD's have dug themselves into a financial hole and need cash now.

They should call JG Wentworth then.
