With ground swell increasing for College Football Playoff expansion, not everyone is pleased with the idea including SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney gave a long-winded explanation this week on why adding two teams — or possibly four to the mix — in the near future is a bad idea.

"I’d be more back to two, to be honest with you. I’m not more is better guy," Swinney said after Friday's practice. "I know there’s a huge crowd out there for that, but I think college football is unique, and now all of a sudden it just becomes like everything else when you do that, in my opinion. I mean you’ve got 130 teams. We’ve got 68 bowls or something like that.

"I think it’s awesome that you’ve got (39) teams that get to end their season on a positive note and build some excitement going into the offseason. I love that about college football. I love all the funky matchups. I love the Funky Cold Medina Poulan Weed Eater Bowl. I love all of that. I like the crazy games. There’s obviously a market for it because them TVs love to put it on there. I love the trips that I’ve experienced as a player and a coach."

Expanding to an eight-team Playoff would be an unnecessary cash grab, writes 247Sports national analyst Chris Hummer, who believes the top two seeds would be unfairly forced to play another game after a long regular season.

"I can see a six-team playoff that gives the top two seeds a bye. Any further than that, you dilute the talent pool of the playoff and lessen the importance of the regular season," Hummer says. "Yes, you’d still need to impress for participation in an eight-team format. That wouldn’t shift. What would change is the reward for an unbeaten Alabama or Clemson. Good job on the unbeaten regular season! Now go out there and play an extra taxing game versus a tough opponent."

Swinney says adding more teams to the Playoff puts less meaning on the regular season and more importantly, shifts focus off of other games surrounding New Year's Day and begins to change the postseason's overall meaning — a reward for a successful season.

"I mean, we’ve benefited from being able to get in the final four. But it’s hard. It’s hard. I hate the fact that all of a sudden now it’s not cool to go to the Gator Bowl," Swinney said. "Are you kidding me? I don’t like that mindset. I think the more you expand the more that becomes. I know that falls on a lot of deaf ears. It doesn’t mean I’m right. That’s just my opinion. I’m not telling anybody else they’re wrong. They can have the opinion whatever they want to have. But I love the passion of college football, and I think the more you expand the less the season matters.

"It just don’t matter. And now all of a sudden, ‘Oh, well we’re in the playoff. And it doesn’t matter if you’re 9-3 or 8-4. You’re in the playoffs so who cares.’ Games don’t matter anymore. Some of the games you don’t even play them, you just sit everybody. I think that would creep in more and more and more. I don’t get a vote, but that’s my opinion."
