Steve Spurrier supports 8-team college football playoff

Steve Spurrier

Steve Spurrier is in favor of an expanded playoff for college football.

The former Florida Gators head coach wants to see an 8-team playoff that includes the Power 5 conference champions and three at-large teams. He wants to see teams like UCF get a shot if they have a great season, according to the Gainesville Sun’s Graham Hall.

Spurrier is a big talker and expresses confidence and fearlessness, so it’s no surprise that he thinks the titles should be decided on the field. He’s actually long been a supporter of an expanded college football playoff. Back in 2012, he said he liked a 4-team playoff and would like the 8-team playoff when it expands to that.

Spurrier’s comments proved to be incredibly prescient. He said the playoff expansion would come in about five years. It’s been six since he’s said that, and all the talk seems to lean towards that direction.
