Big Ten, SEC still deadlocked on College Football Playoff format

College Football Playoff leaders held an annual business meeting Sunday but did not reach a resolution on a future format as a deadline looms Friday.

www.espn.com

TL/DR - sec wants 16 team payoff starting this fall. BigTen wants it to move to 24 teams in three years. sec doesn’t want that so it can keep their conference championship game. And if BigTen and sec can’t agree by Friday it stays at 12 teams next season.

Big ten needs to give up on 24 teams and push hard to get rid of the southern advantage on game locations with home stadiums and conference bowl tie-ins for the playoffs.

Feels like a true road game, even the announcers.

I haven't said this, maybe ever, but we look slow afoot out there and we're usually the fastest team every time we play. Girls look tired or something.

After watching several; NFL games; I became a fan of their "dynamic kickoff". It puts a premium on the kicker being able to kick the ball as close to the goal line as possible without going over it and there are a whole lot more runbacks on the kickoff, etc. I think the NCAA should adopt it or something very similar.

Never Forget 1/25/72!!! I had turned 16 days before and shall never forget probably the worst incident in B1G history. Dave Winfield, Corky Taylor and the rest of Musselmann's thugs showed their true colors. The league gave them a very light slap on the wrist and Coach Taylor was never the same.

GO BUCKS!!

Weak ass foul call already. The thing I noticed when we get in these big games is McGuff NEVER gets the benefit of the officiating. I don't know what he did but somewhere along the line, people started to hate the guy or something.

Is Ebner still around? Could we get him whatever specific training he needs and make him the ST coach?

He's still listed on the Ohio State site as "Football QC, Special Teams":

Here lizard, lizard, lizard.

Let's Go Ladies!!!!

Yes, he had a tie and sport coat on. I didn't see anywhere that he addressed why. My thought was to match Cronin since he seems to always where a coat and tie.

I saw it also and didn't hear why, but please don't let it be to emulate Cronin. I'd lose all respect for Diebler if he wanted to emulate Cronin and have to start a FIRE DIEBLER thread.

Nice, but I thought the problem as the O-line.

If development goes accordingly the OL should be pretty solid in 2026. It's all on Bowen to get that done.

Is there an offensive coordinator yet?

The Superbowl is in San Francisco (Santa Clara, to be precise).

Tip of the hat to our West Coast overlords. This is truly their year.

Yeah, I’m kind of intrigued by what drives the Bear hate in here.
