Incoming American Athletic Conference commissioner Tim Pernetti, who will have a seat on the College Football Playoff management committee, said the evolution of the sport's postseason is "encouraging," but there's also "room for more" beyond the CFP and current bowl system.

"When I say room for more, maybe it's not what the right number is for the CFP -- I don't know. But what I do know is, if you look at how many institutions are playing Division I football, there's room for more beyond the CFP," said Pernetti, a veteran college sports executive and president of IMG Academy. "There's postseason opportunities that don't exist that could be created to enhance the postseason or complement the postseason and the bowl season."

Not really sure how much appetite there is for postseason exhibition games between teams that don't qualify for a bowl game, but I guess more power to him.
