The Big Ten and SEC may be scrapping conference championship games as college football playoff expansion looms. Is the era of marquee conference matchups nearing its end? Craig Shemon examines why top programs like Georgia support a 24-team playoff format and how this seismic shift could impact tradition, rivalries, and the road to the national championship. Citing comments from Alabama AD Greg Byrne, the show spotlights coaches’ and administrators’ growing belief that title games are outdated—and potentially risky for playoff-bound teams.
Shemon breaks down recent Big Ten and SEC power moves, recruiting buzz for Washington and Oregon, and key storylines around Charles Woodson Jr.’s commitment. Plus, get insights on the Big Ten Network’s upcoming classics, and how policy changes—like proposed eligibility limits—could reshape college sports. Join the debate: Should conference titles be scrapped for a bigger playoff, or is tradition on the line?
