Vanderbilts Quarterback Pleads to Trump for College Football Playoff Expansion In a surprising turn of events, Vanderbilts star quarterback, Diego Pavia, turned to former President Donald Trump for help in expanding the College Football Playoff field from twelve to sixteen teams.

Pavias plea, made on social media, references a proposed model where the SEC and Big Ten would each get four guaranteed spots, and the final four spots would be chosen by a computer system. It remains to be seen if this unusual request will gain any traction.
