I don't see the correct font to this.
I don't think it's the correct path, but there's a rationale for attempted homicide charges.

Initial reaction was NO!
After thinking it through, it’s workable as long as those two only take up eight slots. If the Big 12 has a killer year on the field, that could mean four Big 12 teams in the CFP. Only downside is ND is even further away from joining the B1G and they will sneak an undeserving ND into the CFP.
CFP will continue to have its unique way of crowning its national champion.
The only question I’d have is if there will be on campus games, will those games be bid on like in the FCS playoffs? That is why those HBCU teams have their own postseason because they will get outbid. That won’t be an issue if all the CFP games are played at neutral sites.
My interest in college football is waning on a daily basis.
Just for ****s and giggles, here's how that would play out using the AP rankings from after the conference championship games from the last three years, but applying the new conferences:
- B1G/SEC would combine to average ~9 of the 14 bids each year.
- In no year would the ACC or G5 get more than 1 bid
- Big12 would average over 2 bids per year
- If we consider "snubs" to be teams that ranked more highly than the lowest ranked team to make the playoff, out of the last 3 years the SEC would have 1, B1G would have 1, the ACC would have 1, and the Big12 would have 2 (strangely both in the same year, 2021.

If they don't have 4 teams ranked in the Top 14, how do you possibly justify a conference getting 4 bids into the 14-team tournament?
It's ridiculous.

that's a reasonable, measured response by Lama standards
If you look at my post above, the crazy thing is that in the last 3 years, there would have been only twice where a team outside the top 14 made it from the SEC or B1G: LSU 2022 and Oregon 2021, and there was once when a top 14 team SEC or B1G would have been left out even with 4 bids and 3 at large bids in play (2023 LSU).
Going back a few more years (leaving out 2020):
- Only once since 2015 (Florida in 2016) would an SEC or B1G team outside the top 14 have been included
- The far, far bigger issue is the G5 Autobid if you're concerned about taking the top 14 teams. Only in 2 of the last 7 years (not counting 2020) would the G5 representative have been ranked in the top 14 (and that's IFF you count Washington State in 2018- otherwise it's only 1 time).

I thought after you'd been admonished you were going to hide images of hot chicks behind the spoiler tags.
Unbowed, unbent, unbroken.
Unentertaining, uninteresting, unboobed
I was quickly clicking that new spoiler post and there were more names and numbers, dern
The problem with your retrospective is how many of those B1G/SEC programs would have had 4 losses now that they're all in the same conference?
Beyond that, I don't have a problem with it if the SEC got 6 teams if it was on the merit of them all being ranked in the top 14. But I'm very bothered by it if the SEC gets a 4th team that's ranked 15th or lower just because they are a member of that conference. In that case, not only didn't they win anything to earn their spot but they also weren't subjectively considered to be as good as teams that got left out. It's a bs way to do things.
I have a feeling we're going to see CFB go in the stupidest circle where we end up with a 24 team "SEC" and a 24 team "B1G" each split into 3 x 8 team divisions with autobids for division champs plus 1 at large.
The hilarious/stupid part would be ending up with regional divisions that are basically a reversion to the conferences as they were a couple realignment cycles ago.
That's no way to start a Friday morning
This was a mini-flex by the B1G and SEC just sort of testing the waters. Just wait for what’s coming down the road.
Has anyone tried unplugging college football and plugging it back in?
