They don’t like having 3 teams while the Big10 has four. He speculates the SEC will demand four teams to be selected in the future and will get their way. He said they would do away with Conference Championship game weekend. Those games will be eliminated. and the SEC and maybe Big10 will have play-in games to determine who the 4th teams will be. The SEC and the Big 10 have already been in talks over numerous items including pulling out of the NCAA all together. It will happen in some form. It's just a matter of when- (within 2, maybe 3 years IMO). There have been rumblings over the years about the larger schools are tired of being constrained by the mid majors. I believe the Big 10 and SEC are waiting on the ACC to implode (and it will implode). Then they will swoop in, grab the choice programs, and give the NCAA and the mid majors a big fat finger. If they completely pull out, the ripple effect across all collegiate sports will be huge, not just football. If they can make it happen, they may just pull out the football programs and set up a separate association just for that sport. So, anybody that likes the present 12 team playoff, enjoy it while it lasts. This is far from over. Money has infected college football, and if there is one true constant, money will win. 1 Quote

In a thread on this page when they were considering expanding the four team playoff, I called for putting an end to conference championship games. In addition to the confusion it caused this year, I think that the extra game (and injury risk) is unfair to the players. I know.....they are getting paid now, but; they are also risking their future careers with this extra, somewhat meaningless game. Getting rid of conference championship games makes total sense imo.

The grumbling the new system was to quell ain’t happening yet. SMU Whatever. It's still light years better than a four team playoff. Quote
