Swofford is working with SEC,  IMO it is the 100% right decision. I have come to the conclusion  that Delany is a power hungry you know what that the Rose Bowl matters more than college football. His ridiculous Rose Bowl playoff proposal was specifically to tweak to the SEC and now that he and Scott are on the same page and will never disagree on anything regarding the playoff system or expansion that means 2 of the 5 major conference will never disagree.
 
The SEC knows if it is a top 4 system the chances they get 2 of 4 are pretty high. Delany knows his conference is mediocre and outside Michigan or Ohio State the chances of a top 4 aren't as likely as the SEC. So Delany and Scott pushing this top 6 model hurts the SEC. Swofford by siding the SEC gets them off the ACC and prevents the ACC from becoming the new Big East perception wise. If the alliances are SEC, ACC vs. B1G, P12 then the playoff system will depend on the B12.
 
The B12 would probably go for the top 4 scenario which the SEC backs because both OU and Texas wouldn't have a championship game and play early enough in the season where both could finish in the top 4 and play for a NC. If the SEC didn't have the ACC on their side then the B12 position wouldn't matter.  I don't blame Swofford for siding with the SEC as long as it prevents the B1G and Delany from getting what he wants. If the ACC signs a deal paying 15-18 million per team then the conference will be fine.
