Posted by Jon Joseph: Below is my response to an article by Jon Wilner of the Wilner Hotline, I’m disagreeing with only one side of the 11-5 format being told and making the B1G the Playoff format bad guy. Every CFB metric, including the number of folks tuning in, supports the B1G and the SEC having at least 4 teams each in the PO field. Viewers equal dollars at a time when CFB desperately needs dollars. Why trust a committee that had Boise State ranked as the ninth-best team in the country? Would Boise have defeated the 3-loss Illinois, Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina teams? Compared to these four teams, Boise had a weak strength-of-schedule. There was no explanation from the committee as to why Boise's SOS was ignored. Since the inception of One True Champion, the BCS, no team without a Blue Chip Roster has won a title. The B12 has no Blue Chip teams. The ACC has two Blue Chip teams, Clemson and Miami, and sometimes a third in FSU. The ACC, in particular, with eight conference games, and the B12 do not have an in-conference strength of schedule close to the SEC and the B1G. The CBB committee, with its disclosed and followed metrics, would publicly deal with this. The football committee decides its rankings sub rosa. If the ACC wants 3 teams in, stop enabling Notre Dame's independence. And play 9 conference games. Many 9 conference game B1G teams plan 10 P4 games, so don't try to justify 8 conference games because Louisville plays Kentucky, or because you're propping up Notre Dame. The B1G has indicated that it would consider the 5-11 format IF the SEC plays 9 conference games. An entirely reasonable request, no? If you believe Sankey and the SEC ADs weren't aware that the SEC would have had 6 teams in a 16-team 2024-25 PO field before being so informed by SEC coaches in Destin, Florida, don't get hurt falling off the pumpkin wagon. The Advisory Committee was a phony detente move by Sankey, who will be hailed as a hero if he goes 11-5, notwithstanding staying at 8 conference games. Sports journalists can't see through Sankey's ploy? They need Petitti to speak up and tear down the SEC's newfound interest in 11-5? So much for impartial journalism. And Jon, to the best of my knowledge, the NFL does not invite UFL teams to its PO. Add Notre Dame, Clemson, ASU, CU, FSU, and perhaps a couple of others to the Power 2, and what program outside of this group could win a PO? This is not CBB, where mid-majors can make tournament noise and win four games in a row on the way to a CFB title. The ACC and the B12 readily accepted media money. The media marketplace has decided on two winners, the SEC and the B1G. Harsh, but thus goes capitalism. From the B1G's POV, take a look at the SEC cheerleader, ESPN's FPI top 25. Only 81.25% of the SEC is ranked in the top 25. If I'm Tony Petitti, here's my Exhibit A(uburn.) Thanks for the great coverage of CFB, but as a Ducks fan, I prefer Petitti to follow the advice attributed to Teddy Roosevelt: Speak softly and carry a B1G stick. I never want to see Tony doing the Sesame Street act Sankey went with in 2023-24 when lobbying for Bama to be in instead of FSU. Sankey won the argument. Tony should roll over for the 11-5 model without the SEC playing a 9th conference game? I hope you are willing, without supporting the position, to explain what you believe to be the B1G's reasons for four automatic qualifiers. KEY TAKEAWAYS * Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti remains silent on his controversial playoff proposal. * The 4-4-2-2-1 model gives Big Ten and SEC four automatic bids. * Critics demand transparency, comparing Petitti's silence to other commissioners' open discussions.

Why Oregon Ducks, Dan Lanning should STAY in National Championship contention>

Posted by Jon Joseph: Not So Fast! It looks like the SEC is ready to hand Tony Petitti a B1G in-your-face. The SEC, at the end of its spring meetings, made certain to let everyone know that the 8 regular-season games in the SEC Just Mean More. For the first time (RIGHT?) Greg Sankey found enlightenment. 6 SEC teams in the Committee's top 16 last season, including 3-loss Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina, would have made a 16-team PO field. Thank goodness someone brought this to Greg's attention. On the field, a 4-loss Michigan team with many starters sitting out defeated an all-hands-on-deck Bama team in its bowl game. Ditto for 3-loss Illinois taking out 3-loss South Carolina. Nothing to see here, move right along. S(ec)SDD. We're the best, we only need to play 8 regular-season games to prove it. The Committee? The Committee's spot-on rankings were negated by the field only having 12 teams. We need a 16-team PO! We trust the Committee will continue to recognize that our teams' 3 losses are superior to 2 losses everywhere else. We have paid attention to our friends in the ACC and the B12. Five conference champions and 11 at-large teams is the PO format we need; it's the Fairer Way, No Doubt! I never fell for the B1G/SEC detente. You could SEC this possible rope-a-dope coming from as far away as Minneapolis is from Destin, Florida, site of the SEC's annual beach retreat. The Michigan at Oklahoma Week 2 game will kick off at 7:30 EST on ABC. Disney does all it can to aid its SEC partner, while Fox is a B1G Mickey Mouse. However, Fox agreed to move the Texas/ Ohio State game to 7:30 Sunday night of Week 1 instead of Noon on Saturday. Texas vetoed the game time move. The Texas athletic director noted that it would give Texas a short week before its next game and that on Sunday, he goes to church. The Longhorns' Week 2 opponent? San Jose State. We'll see how this plays out, but I expect the SEC will stay at 8 regular season games, and that a possible B1G vs. SEC football challenge was just part of the S(ec)ucker Punch. This could be B1G. Greg Sankey reacts to report Big Ten wants to press SEC to expand to 9-game conference schedule - On3 WWW.ON3.COM SEC commissioner Greg Sankey addressed a report that the Big Ten wants the SEC to move to a nine-game conference slate. The B1G, supposedly, would consider a PO format of 5-11, the 5 highest ranked conference champs are in the field and seeded as ranked with 11 at-large teams, IF the SEC agrees to play nine regular season games. This makes sense. 8 regular-season games allow SEC teams to schedule their way out of a loss. Not every team in the SEC does this. Florida plays Miami and FSU OOC in 2025. In 2024, UGA played Clemson and Georgia Tech. LSU opens the season on the road at Clemson. The other OOC games are in Baton Rouge against LA Tech, Southeast Louisiana, and Western Kentucky. The W KY game will be played on the penultimate Saturday of the regular season, when B1G teams will be playing a conference opponent. Playing Purdue is more difficult than playing W KY. Especially if West Coast teams have to travel to Purdue. In addition to nine regular-season games, the majority of B1G teams play a P4 opponent OOC. However, Ohio State played 3 G5 opponents OOC last season, and Michigan did the same in 2023. In 2025, Penn State has three cupcakes scheduled OOC, including FCS Villanova. (And then takes a week off before OBD comes to town ) (The B1G is not terribly concerned about the ACC playing eight regular-season games. ) The six SEC teams that finished in the committee's top 16 in 2024, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina, could have had one additional conference game loss. And in theory, No. 8 Indiana could have played Valpariso instead of Ohio State to finish 11-1. Not ranked in the top 16, Illinois, could have avoided a trip to Eugene with a game against Eastern Illinois, and be in the playoff with a record of 10-2. It will be interesting to see how the future PO format unfolds.
