Big Ten Commish Tony Petitti refuses to go back from the new proposal for the expansion of the University Football Playoff after the statements of Greg Sankey Sec Media Days

The Big Ten and the Sec are two of the most powerful conferences in university football. The last four national champions have come from them, giving the conferences an important declaration in the process of decision -making in collegial football.

Prior to the 2025 season, there has been a considerable discussion on the expansion of the university football format for the foreseeable future. According to Brett McMurphy of On3, Big Ten's position is clear.

“ The Big Ten will not support its preferred university football playoff format for 2026, guaranteeing the automatic qualifiers B1G 4, unless you decide to add the 9th game of the league. There is no way (the Commissioner Big Ten) Tony (Petiti) gives off four playoffs of 12 teams that will probably return by 2026, '' said McMurphy on Wednesday.

This report occurs after Greg Sankey's commissioner indicated that 12 team playoffs could remain if a resolution is not met with his homologist Big Ten. The ten grains do not go back unless their demands are met.

According to On3 in June, the conference curators chose to “start” by choosing the CFP 2026 format. Initially, the Big Ten and the Sec wanted four automatic qualifiers each, with two automatic ones from Big 12 and ACC. However, the Big 12 and ACC rejected the idea.

The dry later chose not to support model 4 AQ, but promoted the 5 AQ+11 format in a 16 -team playoff.

According to the report, the Big Ten will not support the 5+11 format, as the dry is held in eight conference games. This is because the Big Ten plays only three non -game games, while the dry plays four. The Big Ten considers it a disadvantage if the selection committee chooses 11 teams in large.

Big Ten and Sec teams dominate in 2025 National Probability Championship

According to Bet MGM, Big Ten and Sec are the favorites to win the next National Championship. Champions that reign and Big ten Powerhouse, Ohio State Buckeyes, are the best chances of +525. The perennial semi -finalists and the dry team, the Texas Longhorns, are +550 odds. The dry program, the Bulldogs of Georgia, round the first three with +700 odds.

The Buckeyes are an excellent 2024 campaign that culminated in a national championship. Ryan Day probably favors his team's possibilities to return to his return, and Oddmakers agree.

Longhorns are one of the largest talent factories in university football. They trust to go all the way with Arch Manning to the center and Steve Sarkisian shouting the shots.

Then there is the Bulldog. The Kirby Smart-Coacheed team was the previous National Back Champion. You will see a strong title position in the tenth season of the coach.
