Message: [QUOTE="Rufus, post: 5339644, member: 7277"] I look for the SEC to reverse course again and support the B1G's proposal of 4 guaranteed playoff teams every year. Check out this NY Times article discussing the difficulties of the future SEC 9-game schedules, plus required 10th game vs. a P4 team. If that happens, the B1G will have their cake and eat it too - getting the SEC to play 9 conference games [I]and[/I] getting the guaranteed playoff structure it has long advocated for.....

Auburn, for instance, has a 2028 schedule that looks brutal: Road games at Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU and Arkansas. That same year, LSU has a five-game road schedule of Alabama, Texas, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State. In 2027, Ole Miss has a five-game road schedule of LSU, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi State. There are plenty of other examples. And in addition to that the SEC is still requiring teams to play at least one non-conference game against Notre Dame or a team from the ACC, Big Ten or Big 12. [B]Given all that, don’t be surprised if coaches and athletic directors lobby commissioner Greg Sankey to get even more protections in the CFP selection process."[/B] [/QUOTE]
