[URL='https://post original url/35MAL8WeHN']https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/12/12/two-reasons-college-football-is-making-playoff-expansion-push/amp/ …[/URL] told you so [URL]https://nypost.com/2018/12/12/two-reasons-college-football-is-making-playoff-expansion-push/[/URL] [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072917166737903616']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Antitrust and collusion suits were being prepared spearheaded by UCF and Aresco. 8 team playoff will have auto bids for P5 champs. It’s the only way they will agree to it. [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1064894326264786944']Nov 20[/URL] My former Big East contact is telling me that as soon as the Playoff committee makes there final selections and excludes UCF(if they are still unbeaten) then Aresco will be pursuing anti-trust litigation.

[USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072917510180257792']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Replying to [USER=570290346]@Goazendons[/USER] It is most def still happening but the push for an 8 team playoff is very much about stifling these suits. Also keeps Ohio State happy [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072918346201485312']6h6 hours ago[/URL] In other rumblings I’m hearing B12 expansion will be a heated topic between presidents and ADs this offseason with many now favoring adding 4 (assuming AZ schools are coming) and scaling back to 8 conference games. [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072918663630598144']6h6 hours ago[/URL] UCF is a clear favorite to be included due to state population, recruiting opportunities, alumni size, and recent success on field. [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072918894262804480']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Number 4 is still a who’s who of previous candidates but don’t rule out another Pac12 school to join the AZ duo. [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072919584246849536']6h6 hours ago[/URL] In expanded playoff selection look for highest ranked G5 conference champ to get auto bid as well leaving 2 at large bids that along with seeding will keep ranking committee relevant [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072919721786466309']6h6 hours ago[/URL] This is the plan that has been presented already to espn. [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072920136661852160']6h6 hours ago[/URL] At large bids Keeps SEC and ND happy with the latter able to retain their independent status and not be forced to join a conference.

[USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072920666213617664']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Replying to [USER=398877766]@Josh_A_Hammer[/USER] Really no clue who the 4th would be until discussions start in earnest. And UCF could get shuffled out if Pac12 raiding picks up steam: B10 still wants more schools and UT and OU have said no. [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072921419502272513']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Just a reminder where you heard it first [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DuPIVoUW4AAtf76.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DuPIVoVW0AE_7lB.jpg[/IMG] [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072924524994285569']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Also do not believe what you hear of B12 and P12 trying to jointly leverage their tv rights in the next go round. B12 is going for blood and will not help to boost the value of P12 at the expense of their own.

I'm just not seeing it. [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072925044232339460']5h5 hours ago[/URL] Replying to [USER=235755920]@Taquineur[/USER] Money. Both schools would make substantially more now and projected $10-$15 million more per year after the next tv contract is negotiated.

I would think you would have to give home games to the top 4 seeds. Too much travel once you pass 4 teams. Also, that would mean that you could keep everything else the same (new years bowls). [USER=620917856]MH ver3‏ @MH ver3[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com//status/1072929989111279616']5h5 hours ago[/URL] Replying to [USER=118294025]@zachmauch[/USER] That’s something I haven’t heard a lot about. Home playoff games would be a HUGE revenue creator for schools [/QUOTE]
