Plus: Texas softball cancels Akron game for today
The Southeastern Conference and Big Ten Conference want to yet again shake up the College Football Playoff after the two power conferences were handed its reigns last year.
That’s according to recent reporting in Yahoo! Sports.
From Yahoo! Sports:
“Within the SEC and Big Ten, momentum is building to further expand the playoff to 14 or 16 teams, assign multiple automatic qualifiers per league — as many as four each for themselves — and finalize a scheduling arrangement together that may fetch millions in additional revenue from TV partners, sources told Yahoo Sports. The playoff format change would clear the way for SEC administrators to, finally, make the long-discussed move to play nine regular-season conference games and would trigger, perhaps, all four power leagues to overhaul their conference championship weekend.”
