Good read from ESPN's Heather Dinich. She has done a very good job covering CFP expansion.
I expect that it will happen in 2024. The networks certainly have a big appetite for it.
"The College Football Playoff management committee concluded yet another lengthy, closed-door meeting on Thursday still undecided about when the playoff will expand to 12 teams, but encouraged it can still happen as soon as 2024, CFP executive director Bill Hancock said.
There was a sense of optimism entering Thursday's meeting -- multiple sources had said they hadn't heard any good reasons why the playoff couldn't expand earlier -- but there was also a realization that determining the dates for the games is a significant challenge that persists, especially with campuses hosting the first-round games. The commissioners continue to struggle with conflicts surrounding the academic calendar, including December commencement and final exams, plus finding TV windows that don't compete with the NFL."

The College Football Playoff management committee was unable to decide on when the playoff will expand to 12 teams after a lengthy meeting on Thursday, but the group is encouraged it can happen by 2024.
