Let’s be honest a Big Ten SEC only playoff would give you the natty 9/10 times

the problem is, the Big 10 doesn't want to do this. They are doing "Texas in the SWC" level shady crap, trying to catch and jump ahead of the SEC.

The SEC is the dominant conference ON THE FIELD, but the Big Ten was the dominant conference regarding stature and prestige, and they desperately want that power back.

For once, I will say thank God for Alabama, because they've given the SEC a Top Tier elite with a lot of leverage, which has helped the conference a lot in these dealings. Otherwise, I think Ohio State and Michigan would have bullied something through before now, to shift the balance of power.

We're seeing cracks in the Big Ten's armor, so I think if the SEC holds firm, things will work out. The conference had a public spat with Nebraska and told them to sit down and STFU, which I don't think went over well in Lincoln. I believe there's at least a small chance that Nebraska defects in the next decade, rejoining OU in the next wave of expansion.
We haven't seen strife of that level in the SEC, unless you count A&M crying about Texas joining.

The Acc has won the natty more than the Big 10 lately. In the last 9 years the Acc has won 3 and the Big 10 has won 1. So it looks like the Acc has been more competitive for championships.
