And so it begins.. SEC & BIG flexing

SEC deserves it. They have 4-5 of the top 12 teams.

Big 10...ehh OSU and then? Michigan and PSU need to earn it.

If you did it like almost any other level and did 16 teams they'd get their 5-6, Big 10 would get their 3-4, ACC and Big 12 would get their 2-3 and that leaves 1-3 depending on the year for "others"

I mean the best high school teams play 13-16 games, FCS all use that format. NFL plays 17. **** I think D2/D3 even play 12-13

14-16 games for 4-8 teams isnt a bit stretch. And since most of the kids actually do need the degree 3-5 of these weeks basically fall over winter break.

Lol at the SEC deserves it

They have that many top teams because their conference benefits the most from baseless preseason rankings that no one else gets. Easy to have teams ranked when you start off the rip with 5 ranked

Right now UGA, Tenn, Bama, Texas and probably Mizzou are top 12 in the country...and Ole Miss is TBD they have a few big ones left to prove Kentucky was a fluke.

I def agree its not every year. But right now it is true. I like routing against everyone in every conference but the ACC would def benefit from Us, Clemson, Louisville and SMU winning 10+ games and doing well in the playoffs (whichever 1-2 make it..hopefully the good guys) and everyone else winning bowl games. Although Bowl Games I think will become even more useless as kids opt out to stay healthy if their team doesnt make the playoff.

They may very well wind up deserving 4 bids. In no ******* world do they deserve to have a disproportionate amount of automatic bids.

We can’t get through ONE YEAR without these ***** trying to rewrite the rules, and all the other conferences will just bend over and take it. Have a ******* spine. This isn’t the NFL. If the SEC and B1G want to break off and have their own ****, go for it. They’re not going to pick up viewership from all of the other fanbases.

Mizzou is only top 12 because of the logo on the left side of their chest. That team sucks.

Looks at UGA's schedule, and even if lose to Texas and Tennessee some people will still say that they deserve a playoff birth because SEC.

if they lose to texas, tenn, and bama along w a close win against kentucky. they do not deserve ****. theyve proven that they are not a top 12 team in the country with those losses. i think texas beats them anyways. bobo is horrible coordinator
 
First off, I think there's a chance that this posturing backfires on them pretty significantly. The implication of this is that the rejection of this proposal would lead them to branching off, so it's a "take it or we leave" demand. But I think viewership would be drastically altered if the BIG10 and SEC decided to cut off the rest of college football. If Miami wasn't part of that level I would not watch a single f***ing game they played. And I think a large portion of the country would feel the same.

Second, and more importantly, this will become a massive legal challenge because ESPN is heavily involved and has the ACC by the balls. This decision, and honestly the creation of a super league, is going to be made before the conference has a chance to reorganize with both TV contracts and GOR. ACC teams would seem to be on very solid ground to saying their existence is dependent on being able to choose their path forward and both the ACC and ESPN is preventing them from doing that, while ESPN is in control of that outcome.

If Miami doesn't have a spot in the BIG10 or SEC already then the legal machine needs to start churning, one way or the other.
