russkiejedi Intervention Needed

as much as the SEC needs the other conferences, and that only gets worse when OU and Texas move.

Creating a sub-optimal playoff solution to try to stick it to the SEC is a terrible idea even if it was practical (which it’s not).

Every single team not in the SEC needs to push for expansion... now.

Why? A lot of teams don't provide enough value. Then you are just pushing numbers for the sake of numbers

Like I said, this was the whole point. SEC doesn't want to spread the wealth.

True, but they don't care about parity. At all. They are a definite threat to parity in all CFB.

12 min. 16 is better. Expand it to create more parity. It has worked for hoop. CFB needs a fix.

If you expand it to 12, then SEC will get the auto bid plus 4...

Go to 16, limit to 5 conference max. I can live with it.

This is all positive to me. He wants the playoff expansion.

What reading of those tweets suggests he wants playoff expansion?

I don’t think this shows opposition, at least. Just that they have little

In 5-7 years, the competition would be better as well. LEss consolidation with more teams having a chance.
