Yeah. There's a lot of ways they could do it. But if they go to 16 at large

it will effectively become a B1G-SEC Challenge for football. Both will play a limited amount of OOC games and then claim all the slots due to the self-proclaimed superiority of their conference. But with auto bids, they could also say that a conference must have at least x amount of teams in it to get an automatic bid with member schools meeting certain requirements. If the SEC and B1G have 16, then maybe the rule could be set at that number for a qualifying conference to have an auto bid. So if the Pac 10 want to get an auto bid, they'd have to add 6 teams. But yeah. Championship week would become a heck of a lot more interesting if auto bids were up for grabs.

Kevin Warren quote....
Old Line Hokie • 08/01/22 02:37 PM ET
I LOVE That quote. He's just being honest.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/02/22 01:27 AM ET
Warren is as honest as any other politician.
Old Line Hokie • 08/02/22 11:04 AM ET
Really? What's the basis for that opinion?**
33laszlo99 • 08/02/22 05:39 PM ET
Then every commish involved in expansion is a scumbag. ACC's too.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/02/22 01:34 PM ET
Warren brought the NFL style predatory behaviors and mentality to CFB.
NoHuddle • 08/01/22 04:53 PM ET
ACC's moves against the Big East were not predatory? SEC vs Big 12?**
33laszlo99 • 08/02/22 04:44 PM ET
CFB has been a viper's pit for 50 years now. LOL. This guy's just honest.

What? The ACC destabilized the ACC. I"m hoping the SEC or B1G saves VT. **
BBBDatVT_ • 08/02/22 01:28 AM ET
Yeah at some point the question “what is enough?”
mancunian • 08/01/22 08:20 PM ET
Each of the conferences will expand to its optimum configuration.
33laszlo99 • 08/02/22 05:54 PM ET
The best answer would be for the B1G and SEC to want more! Best path for VT
BBBDatVT_ • 08/02/22 01:35 AM ET
Warren was dropped on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
Maroon Baboon • 08/01/22 03:36 PM ET
yeah, but if he steals home rather gets walked in, he's still done what

It would be fun if the SEC made a counter offer to USC and UCLA right now**
Truthahn • 08/01/22 02:46 PM ET
I think SC and UCLA......

Loved this. I love the rule idea about having a player it out the rest of
Maroon Baboon • 08/01/22 02:25 PM ET
I like max two per conference, eight teams in the playoff.
Truthahn • 08/01/22 03:27 PM ET
Yeah. There's a lot of ways they could do it. But if they go to 16 at large ◄
