Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham would like to see the College Football Playoff expand to eight teams.

While speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Whittingham said that the Pac-12's nine-game conference schedule creates an imbalance with other Power 5 conferences that only have an eight-game conference schedule. Whittingham said that the imbalance is "not a level playing field."

Whittingham would like to see the College Football Playoff award automatic playoff invitations to the Power 5 conference champions.
