SEC Only Playoff

If the SEC does this power grab, who else do they take from the ACC? Clemson and FSU seem obvious. Miami? VT? They'll "trade" Vandy to the ACC.
 
Blaming Dodd for our current football situation has grown tiresome. If you want to blame him for the lack of success in the first twenty plus years after leaving the SEC I think that is fair. But, we have enjoyed some measures of success under Ross, O’Leary, Gailey and Johnson that make blaming losses on Dodd unfair. Might as well blame Heisman’s divorce as the real event that led to an eventual downward trajectory for Tech football.
 
Well, what matters is what was really discussed in the PAC/ACC/BigTen meetings. I hope there is agreement that when this occurred, which was obviously coming, that the rest all stuck together.
A champion from Clemson, Ohio Stste, FSU, USC, ND can put last a champion from UGA, ALA.

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.

That’s what will happen. You’re exactly right. That’s what all this ridiculous paying players to play an amateur sport is all about.

It will be wind up being a 20 or 25 team conference full of “student athletes “ 99% of which have absolutely no interest in being a student whatsoever.

And you know what I say? Good for them. Get out, and enjoy. I have no interest in that nonsense. But I have no interest in the NFL either.

I love college football. “College” being the operative word.

That’s fine, but all non-sec schools need to stop scheduling games against the SEC at that point.

It will be very hard for any non SEC schools to turn down millions of dollars to play a SEC opponent, therefore it will be very relevant to all .

Easy enough for the PAC/Big10/Big12-/ACC to go back to the 1990s version of college ball with an SEC minor league as an option. With a viable minor league option, no need to worry about being a monopoly.

Make the small football schools choose. Then prevent your amateur teams from competing with the pro teams (SEC). It can be like college baseball with the sec acting like the minor leagues.

If the SEC is a 24 team conference, they will probably be limited to one out of conference game per team. It will be interesting to see how the bowl games evolve.

I don't think it will be as easy as you think for non-SEC schools to go back to a version of college ball where everyone involved made a lot less money, including the people in charge of making that decision.

Yeah, this anti-Dodd stuff is just some edgelord “I’m gonna stick it to the guy they named the stadium after” nonsense.

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...

I like how every few years SEC does something bigger and I hear “well now the college football has lost its amateur spirit…. NOW it’s all about money and not the kids or education.” Bruh when was it about the kids and education? Didn’t we quit the SEC in 1964 because they wouldn’t back down on oversigning and set our path to irrelevance? It’s never about the kids or the schools or anything else but winning and money.
 
SEC isn't doing anything like this. They are floating it out to get people talking and scare the other conferences into accommodating them more in future expanded playoffs. This is just them flexing.

we may not have a choice. The SEC is in a position of strength and they’re leveraging it. While not personally in support of such a move, I disagree with the notion that such would kill GT football. Change would inevitably happen and I believe GT and similar programs could find a model that works with the circumstances.

And whomever commented that we don’t care can take a hike. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
 
do u guys think college foot ball will surv I

They could do it, but if they do not include the Little 14 and the PAC-12 then they will NEVER be considered a national champ.

We care. I see little evidence that the administration cares.
