I do think the B1G doesn’t want the P1, with this proposal, Sankey wants it

and to run it. I purposefully didn’t say the SEC, because Sankey will leave some lower tier SEC schools behind and poach some B1G teams. Last year this time the P2 worked together with ESPN and Fox’s support to get majority control of the playoff. IMHO now the B1G has realized Sankey wants the P1 with him or one of his guys to eventually run it. The 24 playoff proposal by the B1G IMHO is to counter that. Keep an eye on how many P2 like USC-w and Michigan start saying they don’t want to sign GOR extensions. Each school that plays in the P1, if it happens, could get their own regular season TV deal like ND. Then you also get the playoff money like ND gets. More money more money more money!!! Or they could work together to get an NFL level deal, either way, it’s about more 💵💵💵💵 If a P1 happens, expect ~32 teams like Saban keeps saying, by the way, ever wonder why ESPN keeps saying Saban should run all of this? Can you say P1 Commissioner is Nick Saban? 🤷‍♂️ ** Edited by Stech at 2/14/2026, 9:05:13 AM

I'd favor going to 24 if they included every conference champion.**

No reason to expand beyond 16 teams if every conference doesn't get a seat

24 is way too many.**

16 is before 24, why not just start there. Auto bids before season starts

It’s extremely similar to what I posted back in the fall

I think the P2 have to present the "illusion of inclusion"...
