ACC formally backs Big Ten's push for the College Football Playoff to expand to 24 teams‎

The Atlantic Coast Conference is backing the Big Ten’s push for a 24-team playoff, commissioner Jim Phillips said Wednesday. Speaking at the end of three days of spring meetings in a posh resort in northeast Florida, Phillips said ACC coaches and athletic directors reached consensus on wanting to double the current College Football Playoff model. “When you’re leaving national championship-contending teams and schools out of the playoff, you don’t have the right number,” Phillips said.
