BTW as to the playoff scenario I mentioned in this post, IMO that's something I think could happen. It doesn't mean I think for sure will happen. I still think for political and participation reasons etc...the B10/SEC will want to have the other conferences be involved. The other conferences just won't have as much say in how it looks compared to the say they had in this last playoff proposal that was rejected. So everyone gets on board with whatever the B10/SEC propose for a playoff or the B10/SEC will just hold their own NFL-like playoff I mentioned above. So it'll be like come on board and join us in the playoff format we've come up with or we'll just go have our own playoffs. I'm guessing the B10/SEC will take the lion's share of whatever playoff money too because the other scenario would have them taking all of it.IMO, I don’t think so because some of those blue bloods will be blue dregs and I doubt they or their fans want that. Everyone can’t be a winner.
I think it cements as the P2 with 20-24 teams in each eventually. What I could see is a mini playoff in each leading to the champs of each playing for the NC. Just like I’ve said a sort of pseudo NFL…AFC and NFC champ play in a Super Bowl. Also what I could see is maybe a lining up and then pooling of tv rights of the B10/SEC to chop in many different ways among media outlets and streams.
