Does anyone think there is much real pressure to expand the playoffs "soon"?

I don't.  I could see getting to six in a decade or so.  Maybe.

not much right now, but i could see pressure increasing in next 5 years to force it to 6-8. maybe a bigger effect is the changing environment of tv and streaming, and how that might effect contracts. i could see the lost interest in some "smaller" bowls getting the execs to try to bring viewers back by making them part of an expanded playoff.

Why stop at 6 or 8?  If we're going to be inclusive, just let everyone in.  16 teams.  4 different bowls/locations for the last 2 teams.  Let's get a "hot" 13 seed with 3 losses as national champ.  I can't wait!!!

Didn't the NCAA sign another contact with ESPN to broadcast 4 Team Play Off for a few more years

I'm not too interested in seeing some INFERIOR team winning a game because the SUPERIOR team's QB has a bad night and throws 3 INTs in the first quarter or something.

It's good that such a game has not yet happened this year.

Same thing happened to Georgia last year - half your team doesn't play and you lose.  It's the new normal.  Playoff or bust.
