It would take a pretty improbable season for the B1G and SEC not to have multiple teams make it as is.

No doubt, I'm thinking more at the back end though. 4 a piece means we'd likely have a 3 loss team from one of those conferences get in while not being in the top 12/16. (Its going to 16 eventually)

 

[RubinRock]

An alliance, if you will?

 

[Hu War Yu]

An alliance, if you will?

Yeah, get ready, we're going to drop you for Indiana

Worked out well for the PAC.

Yeah, 4 a piece is ridiculous. I don't think the B1G has 4 teams that will be worthy this year. That would be bad.

You guys may not even be in a conference once the Big is done with you. Ask the PAC12 how that went

But we're everyone's lovable losers, they can't make a conference without teams like us!

Your love for Baylor remains unmatched!

It’s a power grab and rehearsal for what the other conferences will endure before they take control of March Madness as well.

The SEC and B1G are pretending to play nice while putting the infrastructure in for a super conference that controls all money sports at the top level.

I’m not saying that is right and it’s definitely going to hurt college sports but that is what is happening.

RIP SEC?

 

[TheReal_NU]

RIP SEC?

Exactly.

Oklahoma/Nebraska a yearly thing again

 

[Collegefbfan]

An alliance, if you will?

Are we talking word of mouth promises, handshakes, actual signatures? Remember that last "alliance"...

B1G be like "oh that last alliance we had? Dont you worry about that last alliance we had"

[outofyourmind]

Oklahoma has Michigan in 25/26 and Nebraska in 29/30
We doin our part

 

[Wild Turkey]

Exactly.

Letting Texas in sealed that deal anyway.

 

[TheReal_NU]

Letting Texas in sealed that deal anyway.

We tried to warn you.
