Here's why Memphis coach Charles Huff is not in favor of CFP expansion

College Football Playoff expansion is again a hot topic, but not all coaches are on board with a proposal that would increase the field to 24 teams. Memphis football coach Charles Huff said May 19 at a Tigers on Tour event in Germantown that he sees both sides of the debate but isn't personally in favor of expanding the CFP . "The competitor in me says if you can't be one of the 12, then you're not a national champion," Huff said.

"That's coming from a person that's probably in the worst spot as far as trying to get in. Being a Group of Six school, a little bit on the outside, we have an automatic bid but it's not as guaranteed as some of the others. Win all your games.

Win all your games, you'll get in. It's just hard for me to see an 8-4 national champion. Are you really a national champion, or did you just survive the longest?

" More administrators and coaches have started to come out in favor of an expanded playoff this offseason. The American Football Coaches Association said in a statement earlier this month that it supports playoff expansion, and conference commissioners have signaled they support it as well. An expanded playoff would likely also come with significant changes to the college football calendar and with more autobids for teams from power conferences.
