Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4122339, member: 5685"] Not surprised. It hurts the SEC as it makes it harder for them to win a title and it rises the B1G to on par in terms of bids. It helps the B1G by essentially making it the Big P2. It hurts the ACC as they are now part of the little p3 or even p4. It adds to the SEC/B1G gap and helps keep the B12, P12, AAC level in terms of bids. It helps to keep the B12 relevant and from falling down to G6. It helps the P12 get bids but it also closes the gap with the AAC and MWC, bringing the top of the G5 closer. The AAC and MWC would battle it out for the auto bid. If one emerges they can call themselves p4. The MAC, CUSA, and Sun Belt get left out so nothing is good for them. I would think 6 out of 10 conferences would be against it. Let the contract run out and then revisit. No advantage to expanding before 2026. Looking at the last three real seasons: SEC 2021 1/2 pot to 1/4 of a larger pot 2019 1/4 pot to 1/4 pot 2018 1/4 pot to 1/3 pot B1G 2021 1/4 to 1/4 2019 0 to 1/4 2018 1/4 to 1/4 I think the SEC does not like this as it puts the B1G on par with the SEC in bids B12 2021 0 to 1/6 2019 1/4 to 1/6 2018 1/4 to 1/12 Once Oklahoma and Texas leave the B12 will be like the Big East in the BCS era. I am sure the SEC and B1G do not want to share with the B12 by giving them an auto bid. The ACC shouldn't either as it keeps the B12 on par in perception. It is better if the B12 is seen as being G6 rather than P5. ACC 2021 0 to 1/12 2019 1/4 to 1/12 2018 1/4 to 1/12 Going to 12 gets the ACC in every year but likely hurts overall. With 4 the ACC is the 3rd best conference. With 12 there is a big gap between SEC/B1G and the ACC isn't any better than the B12, P12, or even AAC. P12 2021 0 to 1/12 2019 0 to 1/6 2018 0 to 1/12 P12 gets in every year but doesn't steal too much money. They raise their profile by actually making the playoffs. AAC 2021 1/4 to 1/12 2019 0 to 1/12 2018 0 to 1/12 The AAC's top 3 schools are leaving but they would get just as many bids as the ACC. That bumps them into P6 conversation. None of the P5 want that. Rest of the G5 With the AAC losing its bets teams the MWC might become the dominate G5 conference. Which would bump up their profile to arguably P6. 1. Bama 2. Michigan 3. UGA 4. Cincy 5.
