re: Tony Petitti: Big Ten wants more games with CFP implications

It would be unfair if the B1G played 9 league games while the SEC played 8 plus the usual 4 G5 teams. That might allow the CFP committee to overestimate the strength of SEC teams.

Games vs G5 schools are boring and hurt your overall value.

Michigan last year played 9 BIG games + 3 OOC from G5. Pretty much all SEC teams played in addition to 8 SEC games, 1 from another P5 league. Florida last year played 2 from the P5 (Utah and FSU). LSU in 2024 will play 8 SEC games + 2 P5 (USC and UCLA).
