Yep ND is prob the only non-SEC school wanting expansion

If I'm independent and not participating in a conference championship game, then my path to a 4 team playoff is very hard. The best way to get to the playoffs is to increase the slots. This differs from Pac12, Big10, or ACC. In essence, the SEC isn't likely to get more than 2 slots in a 4 team playoff as every member would have at least 1 loss (except possibly the winner of the SEC). That means there is 2 to 3 slots for the Pac12, Big10, and ACC and ND. The path to a 4 team playoff for these conference affiliates schools may have gotten easier, as it's unlikely the Big12 will gain a spot now.

Great article from David Hale at ESPN on the Alliance. >> Link -- Femoyer Hokie 08/20/2021 3:50PM

Great article if you want the ESPN/SEC and Notre Dame perspective. ** -- Stech 08/21/2021 06:36AM

Maybe the team that we wouldn't expect is Nebraska. -- Maroon Baboon 08/20/2021 6:02PM

The G5s should vote for the CFP-12 as is. -- Maroon Baboon 08/20/2021 5:52PM

Only if it limits participation to 2 teams per conference. Champ & wildcard -- HokieAl 08/20/2021 6:04PM

But that's not the current proposal. ** -- Maroon Baboon 08/20/2021 6:07PM

It is kind of close to it... -- M-I-C 08/21/2021 02:43AM

The SEC wouldn't vote for expansion with a 2-team limit. -- tarheelblue 08/21/2021 03:13AM

I am sure you are correct, but -- M-I-C 08/21/2021 03:41AM

Agreed, really all the conferences should. This is just blow back from -- goldendomer 08/20/2021 5:57PM

Notre Dame would make more money if they join a conference -- tarheelblue 08/21/2021 03:18AM

Wonder if the alliance will block SEC schools from AAU membership? ** -- EDGEMAN 08/20/2021 5:07PM

I fully expect some sort of generic announcement -- hokieball 08/20/2021 10:25PM

Of course the section on ND is what I found interesting. It shows while ND -- goldendomer 08/20/2021 4:05PM

I think CFP 12 is a done deal...eventually. -- daveinop 08/20/2021 7:53PM

Yep ND is prob the only non-SEC school wanting expansion -- jesuisvtguy 08/20/2021 4:43PM

If eventually the alliance evolves into two competing football conferences, -- Femoyer Hokie 08/20/2021 4:14PM

WHo knows, but I know on this issue we will find disagreement with the -- goldendomer 08/20/2021 4:16PM

Which issue? ** -- Femoyer Hokie 08/20/2021 4:19PM

Playoff expansion. ** -- goldendomer 08/20/2021 4:21PM

Well, the odds of this alliance having legs is pretty small but I’m not -- Femoyer Hokie 08/20/2021 4:26PM

I don't see how ND can be involved or support the Alliance -- TerryD 08/20/2021 4:09PM

Well, the Alliance keeps counting 41, so they think you're there : ) -- daveinop 08/20/2021 8:09PM

Yep, I just think it is lazy journilism throwing us in with the rest of the -- goldendomer 08/20/2021 4:11PM

Nothing lazy about it, that was a PR piece. ** -- daveinop 08/20/2021 7:37PM
