According to recent reports, the bowl season may see 3 additional games being included starting in the 2020 year.

65% of 130 teams would have a chance at the extended post season.
I don't know if this is an attempt to over saturate the market, until the bowls collapse & go away, causing as separation in the conferences, so that the Power5 can have their own division, in order to put more emphasis on the playoffs.
Or, if a bump in the stability of our economy is seeing a larger revenue base that allows for more post season sponsorship. Also, if projected figures show potential market growth and viewership; the additional games maybe the conferences wanting to be able to eat their cake, too.
