[I]Auerbach: There is hope within all three leagues that their commissioners will align to delay the implementation of an expanded College Football Playoff. Athletic directors in all three leagues have expressed concerns over the composition of the four-member working group that proposed the 12-team format and treated it as an inevitability without hearing from any representatives of the three leagues.[/I]

The composition of the controversial 4 person committee that pushed so hard to get the playoff format expanded is below...

[I]The four members of the working group (Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey, Mountain West Conference Commissioner Craig Thompson, and Notre Dame Athletics Director Jack Swarbrick) presented their recommendation today during a virtual meeting of the full management committee that administers the CFP.[/I]

The ACC, the B1G and the P12 had no one on this committee.  Sankey did a great job stacking the deck, promising the MWC commissioner he would get a few crumbs and promising the ND AD the much easier road for an independent to get to the playoffs.

Sankey made one big mistake though, grabbing Oklahoma and Texas before the expansion was approved.  I think that dream is not gone, perhaps forever.  What a greedy bonehead.
