g0d0fm15ch13fBig Ten, SEC to discuss scheduling alliance, automatic bids in College Football Playoff
DucktorZeeAlliances, ha. It’s be nice to get the SEC to 9 games like the rest of the country. Guaranteed playoff spots could be enough to let them remove a cupcake game.
It’s a totally meaningless protest, but I wish the playoff committee would drop every sec team down a few ranks on cupcake week.
Ehh, an 8 game SEC schedule is still tougher than a 9 game B1G (for the most part anyway, looking at you mizzou). But I don’t really disagree with you, there’s just no incentive presently for the SEC to switch. Personally, I don’t love the 9 game format as my understanding is any proposed format would have the Vols drop three of alabama, florida, kentucky, vandy, South Carolina and georgia annually, which won’t make me happy. I know that SCar and UGA aren’t rivals, but I love those games and I care far more about Saturdays in the fall than this silly little end of season tournament we’ve got now. What I would like to see with 8 games is a mandate of at least 2 P4 ooc games each year instead of just 1.
