The College Football Playoff could expand even further. And Notre Dame is apparently in favor.
Meetings are taking place in Chicago this week, and the ACC and Big 12 conferences, along with Notre Dame, are reportedly in favor of the idea. The SEC is reportedly open to it.
It's unclear if it will happen or when, or if there will be any format changes to account for conference championship games and independent schools such as Notre Dame.
