ROSEMONT, Ill. — After a lengthy, in-person meeting on Tuesday, the College Football Playoff’s management committee still needs more time to determine if the playoff can expand to 12 teams as soon as 2024, CFP executive director Bill Hancock said.<\/p>\n

“We won’t wrap up this week,” Hancock told a small group of reporters following a meeting that lasted almost seven hours at the Big Ten’s headquarters. “It’s never been done before, obviously. And so anytime you have new ground to break, it takes a lot of conversations to make sure you’re not missing any details.”<\/p>\n

The 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick will meet again for two hours on Wednesday morning, but expect to know more by an Oct. 20 meetings in Dallas. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said the group will have some videoconferences between now and then.<\/p>\n

Hancock said the commissioners continued to discuss the possibility of moving the entire season to Week 0 to accommodate an expanded field, but there are still questions about the feasibility of implementing such a sweeping change so quickly. An earlier start would move the conference championship games to Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n

“I think most people view that as a future item, a long-term item,” he said. “I don’t want to foreclose anything, but that’s my answer.”<\/p>\n
