SEC Only Playoff

SEC Considering SEC Only Playoff

Great way to regionalize yourself

Once a handful of other power programs join, this will actually make sense. A 20/24 team SEC of all your national powers can have its own 8 team playoff.

Don't care. Screw em.

With ESPN bank rolling the SEC, why not??? We all know that college football stopped being about football, the kids and such. It's all about money now... Nothing else... Just money...

Do it….and let the rest of us return to conventional college football with actual student-athletes.

Yep. This would be the first step to forming their own league. And people are fooling themselves if they don't think that major teams would be interested in joining.

The SEC will absorb the rest of the factories, cast aside the Vandys, and attempt to have their own league/playoff. This is becoming more apparent.

The problems are they are hoping for ESPN to be the sugar daddy to bank roll all of this but ESPN is running into some cash issues. Also, the unpredictability of the players unionizing could be a problem too.

That might be the only thing that could fix college football. Let the SEC do it's own thing and nobody cares anymore (except for SEC fans)

Ga tech football will die. Those that push this don’t realize it

They don’t care

We cannot allow the sec to isolate itself further. If ga tech isn’t playing games against marquee opponents then you will see stadiums of 5,000 instead of 30,000-50,000, and tech may give up most sports

Nobody at any SEC school or any SEC wannabe school (UNC, Clemson, FSU) gives a damn about GT football surviving as long as they get theirs.

Yes, the plan is to stop them from having their way

I’m not pushing anything….if the SEC wants to secede from college football then so be it. Why do you think such a move will kill GT football?

So, do SEC convos belong in our Pro Sports area on Stingtalk now? Just curious. Don't want to get the evil eye.

Dodd unknowingly killed GT football back when he had his temper tantrum. It just got put on life support and this will finally pull the plug.

TV contract money is what’s keeping the AA afloat. If there is a split and GT is not a part of the new league it will be the end of it

Depends how it splits. If the Big 10/Pac# get left out, tv viewership craters. No one outside the south will watch a southern minor league version of the NFL.
