SEC Planning to LEAVE College Football Playoff to Create New Format with Big 10 is Actually Possible

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

The SEC's dominance in college football has fueled speculation about the possibility of them creating their own playoff system. With multiple top-ranked teams consistently vying for the national championship, the SEC could argue that the current College Football Playoff format doesn't adequately reward their conference's strength.

An SEC-centric playoff would likely involve a larger field, potentially including all SEC teams, and would culminate in a championship game featuring the top two teams within the conference. This format would ensure that the SEC champion is crowned the true champion of the conference, regardless of their performance in the national playoff.

However, such a move would face significant hurdles. It would likely require a major restructuring of college football, potentially leading to a fracturing of the sport. Legal and logistical challenges would also need to be addressed.

While an SEC-only playoff remains a hypothetical scenario, it highlights the growing power and influence of the conference within college football and raises important questions about the future of the sport.
