SEC & B10 will hold a meeting. Potential discussion of 4-4-2-2-1-1
RandomAsianGuy • 01/22/25 12:30 AM ET
meh...2+2+2+2+1+1 w/ next 4 highest. SEC/B1G know losses count a lot
daveinop • 01/23/25 05:29 PM ET
This is exactly why the P2/Networks want 8 Automatic Bids, the Portal is
Stech • 01/23/25 06:27 PM ET
so what if only 3 worthy teams from SEC, are they still getting a 4th?
VT Pez4Life • 01/23/25 09:12 AM ET
Missouri finished in 4th place in '24, they lost to aTm by 31 & Bama by 34**
BROman Hokie • 01/23/25 10:43 AM ET
Bad for SEC and B1G IMO. Put a cap on their bids for the most part.
Maroon Baboon • 01/22/25 05:15 PM ET
Another reason why SEC and Big 10 want to do this is so that they can
HouClone • 01/22/25 02:12 PM ET
The 8 other Conferences including the ACC and B12 are playing scared!!
Stech • 01/22/25 03:10 PM ET
With all due respect, fight back with what?
HokiesACC2004 • 01/24/25 07:04 PM ET
8 votes versus 2 votes.**
Stech • 01/24/25 08:16 PM ET
The SEC and B1G holding a meeting to discuss a plan
Pylons • 01/22/25 06:38 PM ET
LOL, they got the networks behind them, XFL, or should I say XCFL rules!!!**
Stech • 01/22/25 07:13 PM ET
Stech - what would they be fighting for?
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/22/25 04:10 PM ET
Other 8 Confs could have better ranked teams miss PO because 8 P2 Auto Bids
Stech • 01/22/25 04:56 PM ET
I think Yormark will take the 4-4-2-2-1-1
RandomAsianGuy • 01/22/25 06:10 PM ET
Those aren’t strong teams anymore
VPI 1924 • 01/23/25 05:13 AM ET
Of course he will, Yormark is as scared of them as the rest of them, talk
Stech • 01/22/25 07:15 PM ET
Ummmm, I think you should hold that opinion. Let it play out. **
Big12 guy • 01/22/25 07:27 PM ET
Nope Yorkmark can stop acting like a wimp & prove me wrong, but not kissing
Stech • 01/22/25 07:34 PM ET
Wow, seems you have the same disdain for Yormark as you do ND. You
Big12 guy • 01/22/25 07:41 PM ET
It’s not personal 4 ND or Yormark, it’s about College Football sustainable
Stech • 01/22/25 08:05 PM ET
I think you're confusing Brett Yormark with Jim Phillips.
Baltimore_Hokie • 01/23/25 10:23 AM ET
Didn't Yormark agree with the playoff revenue model
RandomAsianGuy • 01/23/25 07:12 PM ET
Didn't Jim Phillips?
Baltimore_Hokie • 01/24/25 10:05 AM ET
The issue here is whether Yormark would support the 4-4-2-2-1-1.
RandomAsianGuy • 01/24/25 12:45 PM ET
I agree Phillips does it more & exactly what you are saying, his main goal
Stech • 01/23/25 10:42 AM ET
I agree with you 100% about giving P2 double the auto-bids-
Baltimore_Hokie • 01/23/25 10:47 AM ET
100% back at you!**
Stech • 01/23/25 10:51 AM ET
ND has to care about itself
TerryD • 01/23/25 08:13 AM ET
Can you name one school that is
Big12 guy • 01/22/25 08:16 PM ET
Any argument about the ACC doing this or that is useless.
Baltimore_Hokie • 01/23/25 10:27 AM ET
Major point is the 8 Conferences need to including Yormark need to stand up
Stech • 01/22/25 11:32 PM ET
Big money means rankings don’t matter. Only ratings do
HokieAl • 01/22/25 05:44 PM ET
Spot on Al, stop calling it rankings, start calling it RATINGS!!!**
Stech • 01/22/25 07:16 PM ET
I get the idea of fighting on principle, but I do not see any scenario
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/22/25 05:28 PM ET
VT ChemE, if you’re likely 2 lose @ least go down fighting, dignity matters
Stech • 01/22/25 07:24 PM ET
Jim Phillip's plan makes sense now
CoolJCPA • 01/22/25 01:52 PM ET
A 2 vs 3 battle is not a championship game. It's a play-in game. Still lame**
Maroon Baboon • 01/22/25 05:13 PM ET
You’re getting your best team in the CFP
Marooned • 01/23/25 11:37 PM ET
That's fine. Just don't call it a championship game. It's insulting.**
Maroon Baboon • 01/24/25 12:11 AM ET
Play-in…playoff…what’s the difference? **
hokieZ71 • 01/22/25 06:47 PM ET
Yep, and it would signal total capitulation by the ACC.
HokieAl • 01/22/25 02:01 PM ET
ACC and B12 have been capitulating for years.
hokieZ71 • 01/22/25 06:50 PM ET
This. Not wanting t start a fight but the Idea that the ACC is in the
Big12 guy • 01/22/25 07:39 PM ET
Better than the P2 invitational
RandomAsianGuy • 01/22/25 12:51 PM ET
" one step short" really means that P2 invitational is the next step
Truthahn • 01/22/25 03:43 PM ET
Nobody in their right mind would ever agree to this-
Baltimore_Hokie • 01/22/25 03:28 PM ET
I had actually predicted this back in February 2024 (on another board),
RandomAsianGuy • 01/22/25 06:06 PM ET
Too low of a standard, we can and need to do better!! Watch XFL documentary
Stech • 01/22/25 01:06 PM ET
I agree but I learned my lesson.
RandomAsianGuy • 01/22/25 01:18 PM ET
This is a PR battle, to win the 8 other conferences need to get mad & fight
Stech • 01/22/25 03:03 PM ET
This should be rejected. The P2 is trying to compensate for expanding with
wwhokie1 • 01/22/25 11:48 AM ET
They are getting a ton of money to have mid season blue blood
Big12 guy • 01/22/25 12:08 PM ET
ABSURD if a P2 team gets n over a better ranked team. Tweak th SOS rankings
Stech • 01/22/25 01:00 PM ET
Color me shocked that the SEC and B1G want to guarantee-
Baltimore_Hokie • 01/22/25 11:17 AM ET
can we stop calling them students athletes then? 17 games to win a MNC
VT Pez4Life • 01/22/25 09:03 AM ET
its gone, for last couple of years ◄
1947Sunbowl • 01/22/25 09:20 AM ET
I would approve of a rule granting auto bids to the conference runners up
I85Hokie • 01/22/25 08:51 AM ET
The top 2 still get a bye? Over half guaranteed to be SEC/BIG? Nope
HokieAl • 01/22/25 08:23 AM ET
If ND gets a yearly bid, they'll be a yes vote.**
EDGEMAN • 01/22/25 09:00 AM ET
This makes a ton of sense in an NFL model, and post-conference title world.
hokieZ71 • 01/22/25 08:10 AM ET
Automatic bids r fair 2 u vs rankings? Teams w/ better rankings left out 2
