Missouri football coach Eli Drinkwitz talked about College Football Playoff format changes, suggesting play-in games that could expand the CFP to 30 teams.

A large part of the crowd was gone by the time Eli Drinkwitz took the stage at SEC Media Days on Thursday morning, which is a shame, because the Missouri coach might have been the most-entertaining speaker of the week thus far.
