I'm hearing this likely means the SEC plans to agree to 4 automatic CFP qualifiers, along with the B1G, leaving ACC and Big12 with 2 each (at most) in a 16-team format.

Further, this likely will end conference championship games for B1G and SEC. Instead, the top 2 teams get automatic bids whereas teams 3-6 must play-in; that is, 3 v 6, 4 v 5, with games played on campus during the week after the end of regular season. Way more TV money and interest with this format. I like it.

Finally, this may force the ACC and Big12 to merge, with teams dividing into divisions to better balance the huge travel distances currently incurred. They get 4 teams, a larger piece of TV revenue, and it will save millions in travel costs for the Olympic sports.

Certainly possible. Would have helped Oregon to have lost.

C'est la vie.

iirc they’d keep the CCG. 1-2, 3-6, 4-5. Three games. No one’s opting out of a CCG. Oregon-psu last year both teams were already locked into the playoff and there was some incentive to actually lose and get the easier draw (smu and then Boise). Both teams went 100% all out and it was a great game.

Sorry, was correcting my bad grammar of the prior post.

I agree that the opt-out or rest the starters thing will become the huge problem for the CCG's.
