Seems like the B1G talking point this off-season is going to be centered on getting an expanded playoff for the 2027 season.

Much consternation has been made of Petiti being dead set on getting 24 teams, and a fixed number going to each conference. The SEC wants 16, and thought going to 9 conference games was the key to getting there.

I know how most SEC fans feel, they feel like Sankey is getting pushed around. But in all reality, the SEC has gotten the benefit of the doubt with multiple years in the BCS, four team, and now twelve team eras. There were two all SEC BCS Title games, and one in the four team. The SEC got almost half the field of a twelve team field, and failed to beat another P4 team outside of each other.

I know this is a tired question, but I would like to hear from my Duck friends if 24 is too big, or if 16 is good enough with a proposed automatics for each conference. Also, what to do with the G6 and Notre Dame. It's going to be a long wait till we get our football fix, but there's a lot going on right now to keep some topics alive.

It may be a tired question to some, but these are important questions about the Playoffs.

In the end, what the B1G wants is less SEC bias by the committee, and we can't count on that. So the less input by the committee, and more that is already agreed upon up front...the better.

Perhaps this is Pettiti's way of asking for the world, and getting compromises? SEC gives up committee power, and B1G agrees to 16 teams?
