re: Thinking about the four team playoff, how long until we get to eight?

Look nobody would love to see Delany fall flat on his face more than I would but it will not happen. Ever since Rupp allowed the NCAA the power in the 1950's the B1G has controlled with an iron first with the PAC and the ACC to back them up when needed.

The only real threats were the B12 (after the merger of the SWC and Big 8) and the SEC. B1G knew they could not break the SEC so they broke the B12 when they landed Nebraska by using Missouri as the pawn to start the ball rolling. SEC football may be king and SEC sports in a dominant position overall but that still leaves them in a minority in population and large cities and that is hard to overcome no matter how good the product.
