[QUOTE="Cougar/Frog, post: 3083973, member: 25959"] I read recently that the 4 team and 12 team playoffs, as well as the two team, had been researched and discussed back in the early 90s. The current ESPN CFP contract allows for expansion to 12 teams (with increased revenue) without negotiating with ESPN. ESPN, however, currently owns 17 or so bowls, and broadcasts another 20 or so, so the Bowl Season group trying to jam up the 12 team playoff is ESPN itself. It likely doesn't want to pay more money and it doesn't want to diminish its assets (the Bowl games). [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
