SEC, Big 10 Try to Kill Big 12 With EIGHT College Football Playoff Bids Between Realignment Leagues
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- The SEC and Big Ten have long been seen as the powerhouses of college football, and they are continually seeking ways to assert dominance over other conferences, including the Big 12. Both the SEC and Big Ten have expanded aggressively in recent years, adding marquee programs to bolster their brand and increase their revenue potential. The SEC's addition of Texas and Oklahoma, along with the Big Ten's expansion to include USC and UCLA, signals their desire to dominate the national landscape in both competition and market reach.
For the SEC, dominance is built on decades of winning culture, particularly in football, where they consistently produce national champions. The conference has become synonymous with powerhouse programs like Alabama, Georgia, and LSU, and their expansion only further solidifies their hold on some of the nation's largest fan bases. Adding Texas and Oklahoma-two historically strong football programs-further ensures the SEC's grip on top-tier talent and major television markets in the South and Midwest.
The Big Ten has been similarly aggressive, adding USC and UCLA to extend its reach to the West Coast, tapping into the lucrative Los Angeles market. This move showcases the Big Ten’s strategy of maximizing revenue from both media deals and exposure, bringing its brand to more regions across the country. By expanding westward, the Big Ten challenges the Big 12 in its own footprint, while also securing some of the biggest names in college sports.
The Big 12, however, remains a formidable player, particularly with its recent expansion and competitive football programs. While the SEC and Big Ten seek to assert their dominance, the Big 12 is positioning itself to stay relevant and competitive on the national stage. The rivalry between these conferences for supremacy will likely only intensify in the coming years.

If that happens kick em out of March Madness
Let's Go Mountaineers!! Doce Grande!!
This is too good😂😂
My thoughts exactly. 1 bid leagues, especially the Big10 who hasn’t had a champion in March (April) since pre 9/11.
Pac-12 will own the best basketball conference
@@PATRIOT904 lmao
I've already given up on the NFL. College football was my last hope, not now. Greed is destroying everything we hold scared.
Same. It's been aggravating.
Well why are you still engaging in college football all content ? Are you addicted to it ?
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 bc I can why are you engaging in anything? What a stupid question. Don't make comments unless you think it through.
@@dutchheadlife3325 I don’t engage in NOTHING that I have given up on. That’s the definition of obsession and lunacy.
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 Use your brain more. Don't try to post gotcha comments bc you don't like people's opinions. Just makes you look dumb and immature. Take the advice don't get butt hurt.
SEC: We Just Cheat More ✅️
I'm not gonna lie, college football is dumb. The games are fun too watch, but when you only play 12 out of a potential 133 opponents, rankings become total BS. There will be almost no games between big xii teams and sec/big x teams this year, and yet their wins will count more and their losses will count less because they're "better". I'm not saying they aren't better, but they aren't proving it on the field.
TV wants the best college teams is order to draw viewership. Alabama vs. Georgia draws big ratings. If it had been Alabama vs. Iowa State, no doubt the viewership would have been much lower.
Over the last 10 years, how many times has a SEC team won the national football championship? Six times.
How many times has a B1G school won? Twice.
How many times has an ACC team won? Twice.
How much more proof do you need?
This is why I've stopped watching any SEC and Big 10 games
Nearly 12 million viewers watched Alabama vs. Georgia. They saw a helluva great game!
Can’t stop talking about them though can you
Unfortunately, millions more will watch. Outside of Colorado no b12 team gets over 3m viewers. When the b12 gets 9+ million viewers game let me know. Last year osu vs UM got like 19 m viewers. That's why they make the rules.
@@sarahmccoy1941 I'm happy to say that I didn't tune in. Might as well turn college football into a variety show if the only teams allowed to play are the ones with all the money.
@@McCliffy you didn’t watch but you keep engaging in the content
It's fine, but Big 12 gets 3, acc is gone.
Basketball tourney sees Big 12 with 12 autos, B1G & SEC get 3 each. Seams fair.
Big XII gets one. Their lone auto bid
Yeah, big12 looks like fcs this year.
The SEC and the BIG 10 are destroying college football.
Nothing stays the same except change
Only way we combat is don’t watch their games… turn every tv you can on for the B12 games.
So what I’m hearing is that it would be real good for a B12 team to go undefeated this year
Selfish Evil Commissioner
The 32-38 team Super League is going to be awesome!
Drake this was the best discussion of the current situation with the 12-team playoff.
Just don't watch, I NEVER watch Georgia vs Bama. NEVER
Yep. Easy to boycott. I have no interest in watching these programs that maintain their superiority by off-field flexes.
That was a damn good game though on Saturday.
You are missing some great games, played by great players, who one day will be starring in the NFL.
@@aBrewster29 When is the last time that a BIg XII school won the national football title?
It was 2005 when Texas beat Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl.
@@sarahmccoy1941 you must have missed the part where I said I didn’t care.
boycot the SEC. STOP WATCHING SEC GAMES. unless it's also a BIG12 game
Good start now …BTW Alabama Georgia was the most watched regular season college game ever . I don’t think they missed your pair of eyes
I still bet a 10-2 SEC team gets in over an 11-1 Big 12 team. Breaks my heart, but Big 12 is only getting 1 team in. MAYBE two if we are very, very lucky.
As an ISU/BigXII fan I actually want this to happen. I want the "P2" to each get 4 autobids. And when they do I want the G6, ACC, and BigXII to collectively refuse to attend the CFP. I want them to respond by forming their own 8-slot tournament with the champion of each of the remaining 8 conferences. We can't win the game the SEC/B1G are trying to make us play. The only winning move is not to play. An 8-team tournament with the remaining conferences would be more fair, more entertaining, probably have similar levels of viewership, and some years it will legitimately produce the best team in college football.
This is what the Tier 1 P2 want, namely for the Tier 2 to initiate separate playoffs. They will continue to make intolerable demands until that occurs.
The Big 12 and the ACC should be happy they get 1 spot at the table. The G5 should be happy to get 1 team in.
@@Patrick-sg7cmterrible take
@@Patrick-sg7cm You're right. The ultimate goal of the CFP commission is to bring in the most money possible, which means attracting viewers. Talent on the field only gets you so many extra views. Even if UNLV has a better team than Ole Miss, USC, Mizzou, or Michigan, they'll simply never bring in as many views. It's in the best interest of the CFP commission to make it as easy as possible for those big brands to get in. Since most of those brands have joined up with the B1G and SEC, that means inflating the pre-season rankings for those conferences and giving them extra autobids. The G6, ACC, and BigXII are lucky to get literally anything out of the current arrangement. That's exactly why I would prefer a separate tournament.
@itiswhatitis3110 The Big 12, the ACC, and the G5 are far weaker leagues. Therefore they don't deserve as many bids.
Let the record show that 4 of the top 7 SEC teams are former Big 12 schools. 😂 The New Big 12 can be just as good.
Not without those four former Big 12 schools. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@sarahmccoy1941 The only thing holding the New Big 12 back now is that the schools have to commit to consistent excellence. All I've ever heard was the Big 12 sucks. But schools from the Big 12 are the best schools on the field and academically in the SEC. Proving the Big 12 was always better. And that the P2 bleeds like everyone else. They can be beat.
@@lorenzohaynes3886 And will be beat 😎
@@lorenzohaynes3886which ones are the best on the field ?
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 All are in the top 7 of the SEC standings.
Holy $%!7 you actually covered Tech for more than 5 seconds!! Thanks!
Good stats for Tech. That average defensive position to start was eye opening. Thx for covering! WreckEm
I will watch my team. Maybe a local rival. I might have other games on while doing chores or something but I’m not normally watch 2 teams that I have no connection to.
Big Ten they don't care football or athletes it's all about money.
They’re just doing what’s best for them. The same as every conference. You’re just not as powerful 😢
One idea thats great here is the BCS over the selection committee. The BCS and the drama it created was the lifeblood of college football in the 2000s and the selection committe is a political body.
SEC and big 10 say they want the best teams, but also want autobids. Hypocrites.
You my friend look like the picture perfect Mormon with that sweatshirt haha
As a Mizzou fan I can guarantee you, an 11-1 Iowa state team would get in over 9-3 Mizzou team. Our schedule is too weak to get in at 9-3
Shouldn’t that guy in the thumbnail be in an old folks retirement home by now. Out of touch’s making horrible decisions..smdh
Make 5 regional 12-team "power" upper conferences each paired with their own regional 12-17 team relegation lower conferences and implement a promotion/relegation model. Every year, bottom 2 teams in upper conference get relegated and the top 2 teams from the lower conference gets promoted. That way the lower conferences are actually interesting and are playing for something and you ensure that the best teams are constantly cycled into the upper leagues every season. This would fix college football.
I don't expect college athletics to exist with the SEC or the ACC along with other conferences on the coasts. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, natural disasters are increasing by more than 300% in coastal regions throughout the world. This means that the ACC and the SEC are at severe risk of experiencing devastating natural disasters. Meanwhile, the Big 10 and the Big 12 are the only conferences that will likely survive.
Dude WVU is 1-0 and you are counting out WVU already. Did you not learn anything from last year. You said they would not win more than 1 game last year. WVU lost to two 4-0 pretty good teams on the road. WVU has not been given the chance to show what they are going to do in the Big 12 except for one game so far. I guess some people never learn. Get your crow plate out. You are going to be eating some crow soon!!! Yum Yum. LOL
Okay, I guess the Big 12 and ACC wil have to lawyer up and SUE the SEC and BIg 10 for trying to dominate the playoffs. Talk about GREED!!! Maybe Big 12 and the ACC should join together and have their own championship playoff and national championship. Screw the Big 10 and the SEC. They are the most boring conferences any ways!!!
You should try to have your own playoffs with big 12 and ACC. But there won't be as much money for that.
Body cares about a Wake Forest vs TCU playoff 😂
So you're answer is to create the NIT of college football? Good luck with that idea.
Let’s be real teams in the playoffs shouldn’t be decided in a courtroom it needs to be decided on the field
Where is he getting 4 per Big 10 and SEC? I read 3 per.
All i gotta say is what did TCU do to Michigan a year ago and they didn't win the Big12!!!!!
The Big XII/ACC/Pac-How many we not sure should just form their own playoff. Maybe include the G5. Notre Dame would probably want with the Big 10/SEC but if New Mexico State and UMass win enough games, those independents could get a spot in the separate playoff. I know they usually only win one game a season but it nice for them to have a path.
Your estimate of how long the demise of CFB is very generous. The path the SEC and B10 has put us on will end interest in CFB much much sooner - probably 3-5 years is my guess.
I know this is football season, but can we set a maximum of 2 SEC and Big10 teams allowed to the NCAA Basketball Tournament
College Football has been this way for years now
If they somehow make that happen with the sec and big ten, why wouldn’t all the other conferences leave the division 1 football side and start their own new college division and they leave the sec and big ten behind?? They are just trying to alienate every other conference so they are the only 2 that can get it. That’s why ncaa March madness basketball tourney is the best cause 68 teams have a chance to win it. Not just 4 teams
I think TV networks dictate this today and in the future. What does that mean for Big12 , ACC? Interesting developments thats for sure.
The sec and big 10 want this thing to look more like LIV golf. More guarantees means they are guaranteed more money without really trying harder. Goes against the idea of having to earn it.
People sure hate change
The BEST teams should get the lion’s share of CFP slots.
We all know that the SEC and the B1G are strongest football conferences.
At present, nine of the Top 10 ranked teams belong to the SEC or the B1G.
Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Missouri from the SEC, and Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan from the B1G.
Miami from the ACC is the lone non-SEC/B1G team in the Top 10.
Filling out the other 15 spots in the Top 25 list are the SEC’s Ole Miss, LSU, and Oklahoma, and the B1G’s Southern Cal, Indiana, and Illinois.
That totals 15 teams in the Top 25.
I just had to hear about this. Money/Revenue rules everything. As most people know. Maybe college football will become a public stock in the near future... we could all buy stock in our favorite CFB team...
Drake C. Toll
I’m making the case that this amounts to collusion and perhaps will open a legal door for the nfl to return to drafting out of HS. I believe that little rule the NFL has in place there will even the play field across the board and then the dynamics change.
The NFL isn’t going to waste its time scouting and signing high school players dum dum
Big ten 4 teams SEC 4 team ACC 2 teams big 12 2 teams not independent teams they will call it the Conference playoffs every year each conference should have a schedule agreement big ten vs ACC big 12 vs SEC no more blow out games that nobody watch’s fans win more money for the sport
SEC - 4
ACC - 2
BIG10 - 3
BIG12 - 1
FCS - 1
INDEPENDANT - 1
The big 12 is pretty entertaining always has been
Eh, they're getting at least 4 anyway. Why bother.
I would suggest creating a new college football league. Get rid of big 12 acc then combine them in one league. Create divisions by Geography. bring in Notre dame.
This would only be for Football and no other sport
kansas st going 9-3 iowa st 9-3 byu 9-3 utah 10-2 im sorry big 12 aint like that but thats okay each power conference should get 1 pid for the playoff
lol the fact that you think college football can’t succeed with 40 top teams and yet the NFL ranks in Billions with only 32 teams 😂😂😂 the BIG and SEC will create their own minor league and the rest can continue being “college” football
That sweatshirt💰
If ND will go along, I favor a parting of the ways. BIG SEC can have their national champ and the rest of FBS can have theirs. No unification game unless it is an even split.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Notre Dame already plays a weak Mickey Mouse football schedule.
Tahj Brooks makes more money than I do 😅 why I am giving him my money lol
I've been a BYU fan since 1989 when I started school there. If there's anything I've learned over the last 35 years it's that BYU will break your heart the second you start thinking they could actually pull it off. Would I love to see them go 12-0? Of course. But they will probably lose their next three games and we'll be right back to hoping they can just be bowl eligible. 😆
I've been a Utah fan since I went to school there in 2007, even though I grew up in Provo, my entire family went to BYU and I grew up going to their games as well. I feel the exact same way about Utah. The minute we begin to hope and they aren't the underdog anymore, they lose. Every time we get into the top 10, we lose a game within two weeks of getting there. Every time we get to the top 5, we lose the very next game. It's exhausting. I've learned I have to stop hoping. Let it all happen and either celebrate or criticize when the season and post season are over.
Of course they will. They do have some standards. Majors of SEC BIG10 simply dngaf
@@michaeltaylors2456 What do standards have to do with winning football games?
@@EarmonkeyMusic. Everything to do with winning. Character matters assuming the skill set ability is present
Iowa state
Unless BYU is going to run our table, the BIG 12 is going to rip itself apart. Most of the teams will have 3 losses, if just from all the head scratching games thus far lol.
Go Cougs!!!
But in a vacuum, this says nothing about the quality of the teams in the B12. It only says that they are fairly equally matched. If 5-6 SEC teams were trading losses, SEC fanboys would be saying that these are quality losses and they're all just in the top 10. Georgia is still considered top 5 because losing to Alabama is a "quality loss." But when BYU, Utah, K State, O State, I State, and Arizona trade losses, it's used as evidence that the B12 isn't very good. The CFP is supposed to allow the different conferences to compete to see who really has the best teams, since the top teams in each conference usually don't play each other otherwise. If the CFP stops doing that, then it has no real purpose except B10 and SEC circlejerk.
@@samuelrussell5760 when was the last Big12 championship? Vince Young at Texas ?
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 Yes, the SEC is probably still the best conference. I'm just saying that they should be required to prove it every year. The CFP gives the opportunity to do that. You wouldn't assume that the Super Bowl champion team was the best the next year and that's with less turnover among pro players. Letting play on the field determine which team is best is good for the sport.
@@samuelrussell5760 what if Alabama went independent…played a bunch of nobodies like New Mexico State , Rutgers etc then only has to “prove it “ in the playoffs ? Do you think that’s fair when other teams have run the gauntlet ?
Not going to happen Colorado big 12
Big Tennessee fan here. I love watching SEC football because it is just different than watching almost any other conference. No one else measures up. That being said, I would hate to see the SEC and BIG10 become a "super conference". I love the competition between the different conferences and that would be almost completely lost if each of these conferences got an automatic 4 teams each in the CFP.
HONESTLY - BIG12 looks like an FCS conference this year.
Welp sounds like you're just mad again.....really you're complaining because nothing is going your way then when it doesn't you have yo momma read the comments because you know the comments goes against you btw you're also anti SEC even if your pro Big 12
#facts
He doesn't make his momma do anything. His momma reads the comments because I am a huge fan of my son and the Big 12. Hey also.. Drake was born and raised in Arkansas. I raised him on SEC, cornbread, and sweet tea. So.. not sure what your point is.. just came here to say. Bless. Your. Heart.❤
12 team playoffs should be 5 automatic bids from each big 10 & sec because a 9-3 LSU or Michigan team would beat the big 12 champ rn idk if anyone in the acc could beat Oregon or Tennessee
Houston would beat Georgia easily. Cincinnati would beat Penn State.
@@KingAnarchist take a lap
@@Saintsfan2008 Texas Tech beats Alabama 9 times out of 10.
Maybe, maybe not. If you want to watch SEC and B10 teams play each other, we have the regular season for that. The purpose of the CFP is to prove which conferences have the best teams. You do that by letting in the best teams from each conference. If you just assume the SEC has the best teams even though the best SEC and B10 teams don't play the best B12 teams, the CFP has no purpose. The top B12 teams haven't lost to any non-B12 teams this season. There is no on field evidence that they aren't the best. If you are so sure the B10 and SEC are the best, why are you so afraid of playing the B12 champions in the playoffs?
@@samuelrussell5760 Sec vs Big 12
In 2019 LSU vs Oklahoma was 63-28

Acc only has Clemson but we seen already
Clemson vs Georgia was 34-3 🤷♂️
This is a good thing the big 12 and ACC suck. The majority of fans do not watch their games. The majority of fans would rather watch an SEC school go against a big 10 school in the playoffs where it matters hopefully you old people will understand this, so young people can enjoy the sport that we want to watch in the future.
Found the turd you want that go watch the NFL.
