I also think you’re drastically overestimating Payouts for playoff teams. It’s $6m per team and that goes to the conference, so the sec for 12m extra this year, the big ten And aac got 6m. Even for the sec, that’s less than 1m per school…nice but not a game changing amount

ND is not the key to increased revenue and we will never match the sec or big ten. They will never join anyway as long as they have a seat at the table which they do. Plus they are already launching their own apps and the like to generate revenue, making it easier to stay Independent. The acc...

The conf champ auto qualifiers mitigate that. No one outside the top 4 is winning it anyways. It’s just for more access to the playoff, more games and more money.

The playoff is about finding the best teams so that’s a dumb stipulation under that premise. The sec would have had 3 teams this year and so would the big ten if it was 12 teams. Would you rather see BYU or Oregon instead of ole miss just to satisfy a quota? No thanks

The vote was 8-3 in favor of expansion, but it has to be unanimous to change things mid contract So it is almost certainly passing in a few years. So the acc big 10 and pac12 are the only ones against it. Not sure why you think anyone is blindly approving anything when it’s been debated for...

Espn wants the expansion I’m sure because of what you just said, but they don’t get a vote. CFP already has their terms locked in so viewership could be zero and ESPN would still owe them what’s in the contract. Bottom line is that expansion means more money for everyone, not all the same...

The Alliance or acc has no power in 2025. Once the contract is up, only a simple majority is needed for changes. Also, the acc will still be third in the conference hierarchy, adding ND wouldn’t be that significant, especially since they are on their way down IMO

Reality

Automatic qualifiers would mitigate that. It wouldn’t really level the field, aka more parity, but it would allow broader participation from more conferences.

Guess you missed the part where the sec voted for it already…

It would be more money for everyone, including the three conferences that voted it down. They’re spiting themselves just so they can spite others…

Acc, big ten and pac 12 vote against CFP expansion and as a result, the playoff will remain at 4 teams through 2025. Well, the important thing is the rose bowl will remain on Jan 1, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief
