I think the remaining conference need to start pushing back against the SEC and what they are doing... either that, you have to join them. If you push back, you make it harder for the SEC to get multiple teams into the championship hunt.

Why? A lot of teams don't provide enough value. Then you are just pushing numbers for the sake of numbers

And how many CBers have been spouting off that A5/P5 doesn't matter any more?

4 isn't working. Anyone who thinks that is lying or intentionally being deceptive.

Yep, the dude was on the committee that came up with 12 teams. He's just saying

This is all positive to me. He wants the playoff expansion.

What reading of those tweets suggests he wants playoff expansion?

In 5-7 years, the competition would be better as well. LEss consolidation with more teams having a chance.
