The 12-team College Football Playoff that was unveiled in 2021 looked like an exciting evolution of the postseason.

So instead of the current model — which reserves slots for the five highest-ranked conference champions, regardless of conference, and seven at-large bids — the 3-3-2-2-1 model would grant automatic-qualifier status to six teams that don’t even win their leagues. If you think that sounds bad, it is better than giving the SEC and Big Ten four auto-bids each, which they also suggested.

We got dumped about 10 years ago and it sucked.  I felt like the rest of the college football world was - sucks for you.  Now it sucks for everyone not in the B10/SEC.

What a joke.  Call their bluff and let the sec and big 10 break away to their own league.  In 2 years, we can ask “ how’s that workin out for ya?”

And they will show you all the money they will make. If you think it won't work out well for them, you're not paying attention.

I don't know.  Huge numbers of CFB fans will not follow them after this breakaway occurs (if it does).  Their own institutions might not permit it.  Are they bluffing?

I agree that big ten & sec need to go and play with each other. The rest of college football can survive without them.

The best thing to do when you get dumped is get shredded haha

Even if the B1G and SEC broke off and made tons of money the rest of college football would be more entertaining without them. They should take their ball and go.
