Sounds like much of the changes described recently by Joel Klatt may actually happen, and soon.

4 automatic births for the SEC and B1G, 9 game conference schedule for the SEC, plus more games on championship weekend, likely play in games.

All awesome changed in my book.



I'm a hard no on this. In the 12-team format we just witnessed, I think we maxed out the number of games a team can be expected to play.

This is just college football drunk on the money.

I see lawsuits by the rest of the NCAA members. Mainly the ACC, Big XII and Notre Dame.

With the 14 team playoffs, it's the same number of games for the SEC/B1G champions and runners ups. And then the other SEC/B1G playoff teams would play the same number of games as the loser of the SEC/B1G championship games, so unlike the current format, no extra week off for coming in 3rd or 4th in a big 2 conference. The only playoff teams that get an extra week off are the B1G and SEC champions.

The only teams that play more are the non big 2 conference champions, and the teams that make it to the playoffs WITHOUT playing in a conference championship game.

I also like that the SEC gets 4 playoff births, that way less penalty for playing a mostly brutal 9 game conference schedule.

So more marquee games. Yes more teams have to play 13 games, to make the playoffs. Yes more money, which will help pay for the revenue sharing.

All of this sounds like a huge improvement, surprised it's a "hard no" for you.
