The NCAA College Football vote to move forward with a
12-team playoff model has hit a snag, according to reports emerging from the
United States. The news comes as the SEC is set to welcome in Texas and
Oklahoma, and then implement a deal of an alliance between the Big Ten, ACC,
and Pac-12.

According to a report by CBS News, prominent people within
integral CFP committees have concerns about the process and the structure of
the playoffs. It seems that the organisers will have to address the whole model,
with the preference now being a much smaller expansion than originally thought.

Indications are that there is support for expansion at a
number smaller than the proposed 12 teams, perhaps as few as eight, CBS
reported quoting sources.

Though many had said that 12 is a very high number, the real
tussle seems to be within the big 5.  Many
are calling it just a pause in moving forward. Though what seemed a mere
formality a few months ago seems to have divided the opinions, the expansion of
the model seems inevitable at some point.

Any change in the playoff model requires a unanimous vote
from the CFP Board of Managers. That group is scheduled to meet with the CFP
Management Committee (FBS athletic directors) in late September, and things are
no longer looking promising for a path forward.

Maybe it will be an eight-team affair or maybe something
else, but right now the fans can enjoy the current format.

At the end of the regular season, the 4 best teams from the
list will be chosen to join the other 4 for the playoffs. That is the four teams
with the most wins and the best performance of the regular season. The
selection includes teams with more than 10 wins and one to no losses.
