Illinois coach Bret Bielema has needed to pay attention to the College Football Playoff standings the past two seasons.

On Wednesday, he was asked about the just-announced sites for the next two years of the CFP.

"I do think we're in a time in college football where it's unprecedented how every year, you have no idea what's going to happen," Bielema said before the Illinois-Northwestern basketball game.

Bielema has heard the conversations about what is now a 12-team field expanding to as many as 24.

"Tony Petitti's pushing 24 so I'm pushing 24," Bielema said. "If there had been 24 the last two years, the Fighting Illini would probably be in it."
