Dan Patrick details the plan for next season’s College Football Playoff format and reveals, according to his sources, that the SEC and Big Ten were ready to start their own playoffs and keep the proceeds to themselves.
Dan Patrick: “(According to sources) The Big Ten and SEC went to the Mountain West, Pac-12, Sunbelt, MAC, American Conference, Conference USA, and they laid out the new structure here, the new format. And they said that the two conferences, Big Ten and SEC, will have ultimate control over the college football playoffs, and then gave the six conferences a short window to accept the deal. It was basically, here it is, accept it, and then they did. Now, if they hadn't, the SEC and Big Ten were apparently ready to have their own playoff structure and take all the proceeds.”
