Grapevine, Texas ? Here’s a ray of hope for college football fans bummed by the recent rejection of the plus-one model to determine a national champion. The president of Florida State not only believes a playoff is coming, he thinks it’ll start with four teams, then grow to eight and eventually 16.

“The bottom line is the money, unfortunately, is going to drive the train,” FSU’s T.K. Wetherell said. “The 12th game, right now, is solving the problem. The reason there is a 12th game in football is the money. People may not want to admit that, but that’s the facts of the matter.”
