DALLAS (AP) — The latest meeting on expanding the College Football Playoff has wrapped up in Dallas without any announcement.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby says the CFP management committee made good progress but works remains.
The next meeting could come in January.
.@CFBPlayoff management committee agrees @CFBPlayoff should expand & prefers 1st round games played on campus, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. However, they can't agree if Power 5 conferences receive auto bids or not. That's biggest hold up, sources said. Next meeting in January
