With two extra at large? I don’t get why BIG and SEC have the same auto bids. SEC always is deeper at the top than BIG. If there are at largest I guess we just assume SEC gets them.

Because the SEC has agreed to collude with the Big 10 due to the Big 10's financial backing.

It would be nice if they developed a more adversarial relationship, because 75% of the Big 10 are schools that are no different in any meaningful capacity than the Big 12 and ACC schools, and just got lucky that Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State are more altruistic than any other schools in their position.

For now. They and sec will be doing the new acc distribution model within the next few years, I guarantee it.

Calculus changed a little when they added the 4 out West. Before that move I don’t think they would have been gifted that 4th bid. They assume Mich/OSU/Pedo will typically be up there and Oregon/USC/Wash pretty much encompass all the competitive history of the PAC12 save those few years Stanford was competitive and a Utah team or two.

If ESPN can get Mich/OSU/Pedo and USC into the CFP they’re good with giving out the occasional spot for Indiana or Iowa for that possibility.

I sure hope so, because Iowa fans need a fucking dose of reality that up to this point they've been mostly born on third base, and not some kind of conference tent pole.
