There's no surprise here. The SEC dropping its rationale for the 8 games, "We're too good" isn't happening. A short week for Texas?

Someone has to be the foil, why not a guy who coached 'up north'? This is the flip side of Saint Nick wanting nine conference games, as he so stated every year. Never happened. I hope I am proven wrong, but I see the Advisory Committee and the B1G/SEC detente as nothing but horse spit. The SEC will stay at 8 conference games and be lauded for doing so because the SEC was the Power 2 conference that wanted PO fairness. BTW, there is NOTHING in the B1G proposal that would prevent the SEC from scoring an at-large bid in addition to the 4 teams with guaranteed PO spots. No wonder Sankey supported straight seeding. He darn well knew that with 16 teams, 11 at large and straight seeding, the SEC would have had six teams in the PO in 2024-25. If the format was 5-11 last season, he would have screamed to the high heavens, along with his mates at ESPN, if 3-loss Illinois got in over Bama, Ole Miss, or South Carolina. I feel like I felt when the Pac-12 media deal turned out to be a bunch of tripe. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
