SEC Standing Pat (for now?)

SDS sources: SEC wants to end expansion race, stay at 16 teams

 

Yeah like I said I really think it’s done for now…at least as far as USF is concerned. I can see the PAC giving it a run as 10 schools with no jumping to Big12. It might happen in a few years but not too soon.

True, they look pretty dumb now…especially for so called “smart” universities. 

These people can actually make the most epic gaffes and stupid mistakes.

Yep, $55 mil mistake ranks right up there.

Well I guess it depends if you are Duke or FSU what really matters. Great move for Duke as they keep their UNC rivals.

Yes most likely scenario for now. USF needs to take advantage of this extra time to keep moving on OCS and start to win. If we can go at least 6-6 and head to a bowl game this year it would be huge and it all starts with the BYU opener. Win that and expectations change.

Momentum is a helluva drug.

Even the "King of the Haves" realizes that mega-conferences are a danger to CFB.

Nick Saban says 'mega conferences' are here to stay, still has concerns

Speaking to his former quarterback Greg McElroy on a podcast, Nick Saban is worried competitive balance in college football could be on the chopping block.

Yup! I foresee seeing the mega conferences fail in the long run. Once that happens we we see conferences go back to 9 to 12 teams and be more regional. Also can see a 12 of 16 team playoff to be more inclusive. Not sure when all this will happen but maybe we will see it in our lifetimes lol.
