It means they know they can't get 12, they will take the 8 which still

gives the SEC a change at 3 bids. Assuming 6 auto bids for the highest ranked Conference Champions and two at large. The SEC could still get 3 bids with one for the Conference Champion and 2 at large.

That's better than the 2 they can realistically get, if it stays at 4. Then in 2025 it will be a majority vote instead of a unanimous vote and of course they will try to expand it again then. It's going to be tougher though, since everyone knows what they are trying to do with the OU and UT expansion.

No divisions lends itself to highest ranked Conf Champs, the top ranked 2 -- Stech 11/13/2021 07:44AM

You don't needs quads if division requirement goes -- VT_Skier 11/14/2021 12:20PM

Agree, 3 protected rivals or Quads 4 scheduling, basically the same thing -- Stech 11/14/2021 12:57PM

Quads locks everyone in the pod to the same rivals -- VT_Skier 11/14/2021 1:28PM

Gotcha, now I see the difference ** -- Stech 11/15/2021 3:30PM

If divisions are still required for champ game -- VT_Skier 11/15/2021 11:05PM

I think the CFP is going to highest ranked Conferences getting automatic -- Stech 11/15/2021 11:12PM

I am inclined to agree with you -- M-I-C 11/16/2021 12:44PM

I would defintely like to see 8 -- VT_Skier 11/16/2021 2:30PM

Also, Game Day crew started talking about an 8 team playoff today, -- Stech 11/13/2021 2:28PM

Well, anything said, is not just opinion, but espn corporate -- Mercury 11/13/2021 10:34PM

Chris Fowler & I discussed this very topic over drinks few years ago. -- Hokester 11/14/2021 01:17AM

That's nice, but from listening to their show... -- EDGEMAN 11/14/2021 10:19AM

He's high enough to do that, but they hire others to do the dirty work. -- Stech 11/14/2021 10:19AM

Whether it is 8 or 12, has to be no more than 2 from any conference. -- HOO86 11/13/2021 7:20PM

Totally agree. 8 with max of 2 per conference. -- Hokester 11/14/2021 01:24AM

Unanimous threshold SEC won’t pass 2 min, but 6 highest ranked Conf Champs -- Stech 11/14/2021 05:19AM

I think 8 is enough right now, let's try that before going bigger. -- Stech 11/13/2021 7:35PM

Screw them! ** -- EDGEMAN 11/13/2021 2:29PM

Get why you are saying that, but the fact they are dropping 12 to 8 is good ** -- Stech 11/13/2021 2:36PM

Let me know when ESPN drops it to 4. -- EDGEMAN 11/13/2021 2:49PM

It means they know they can't get 12, they will take the 8 which still -- Stech 11/13/2021 2:57PM

It means they know they can't get 12, they will take the 8 which still
