FILE - In this Dec. 1, 2018, file photo, Clemson's Travis Etienne (9) runs for a touchdown against Pittsburgh during the first half of the Atlantic Coast Conference championship NCAA college football game in Charlotte, N.C.

Still at least a couple of years away, CFP expansion would get a broader pool of teams involved beyond some of the usual suspects like Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma. It also raises the question of how many games is too many for college players who are still juggling school and facing more wear and tear on their bodies. (AP Photo/Mike McCarn, File)
