The conversation around College Football Playoff expansion has centered around 2 formats reportedly endorsed by the SEC and Big Ten, but Greg Sankey says the conference is not committed to any new format.
Sankey spoke to media members in Destin, Florida ahead of the annual SEC Spring Meetings. The CFP was a popular topic.
For more than a year, it has been reported that the SEC and Big Ten are pushing for expansion to 14 or 16 teams. In either format, the 2 leading conferences would each receive 4 automatic bids. The only difference in the 14- and 16-team formats is the number of at-large bids (1 or 3) after automatic bids for other conferences (ACC, Big 12, Group of 5, etc).
Asked about automatic bids to the CFP, Sankey said the SEC is not committed to any format. Sankey also hinted that 4 bids for the SEC could be seen as a compromise. If the CFP were to go with 5 auto bids and 11 at-large bids, the SEC could exceed 4 bids.
