All this huffing and puffing from the SEC to preserve its sacred 8 game schedule. To the rest of the football world the 8 games is the Scarlet Letter, to the SEC it's the S on Superman's cape.

Jon Joseph Author Moderator No. 6 Share Posted 2 hours ago CFB Format change held up because of a beef between the B1G and the SEC, Naturally? What's holding up CFP expansion? SEC and Big Ten are at a potential impasse on these key issues SPORTS.YAHOO.COM Keeping the playoff at its current 12-team format is a grim reality for some, but it’s a possibility, perhaps even a probability as negotiations creep closer to the Dec. 1 deadline. The PO staying at 12 is better for the B1G than a 16-team field with an 11-5 format. Did the author of this article not get the memo that the Advisory Board member SEC was on board with automatic qualifiers before sucker-punching the B1G? The SEC using ESPN's FPI data to justify staying at 8 conference games is laughable for anyone with the slightest clue. The 2025 FPI preseason ranking has 13 SEC teams in its top 25. If need be, Commissioner Petitti, use a B1G veto and stay at 12 teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, friend 30, for honing in on today's most important college football issue, a possible revision to the playoff format that means hundreds of millions of dollars.
