Correct. ND should always look out for ND, but
if ND knew of the SEC's expansion shenanigans while they were talking in secret about expanding the playoff then ND should be ashamed. Who knows? Maybe if the cabal does not come up with the expanded playoff then maybe the SEC does not try to expand.
It doesn't take much imagination to realize that the SEC's intent is to expand the playoff so they can have multiple teams included. With the addition of UT & OK they figure their chances of getting in multiple teams is exponential. They would be perfectly happy with a playoff that was made up of 11 SEC teams with number 12 being ND. I'm sure ND would not object to that either.
Hopefully the Alliance will modify the CFP expansion proposal to permit automatic bids to the P5 conf champs plus the highest ranked of the non-P5 confe champs. The other 6 can come from anywhere but no more than 2 teams from a conference should be allowed.
In a perfect world only conference champions would be allowed in the playoff. I wonder what ND would do then. [Post edited by Hokester at 08/22/2021 6:34PM]
