Prediction: SEC eventually follows suit,


I don't see that happing.

The SEC doesn't need the SOS boost. Too many big nonSEC rivalary games, Clemson, GA Tech, A&M, Fla. State. Plus the $$$ for the extra home game is greater than any other conference.

What does this mean? Are you saying that LSU, Alabama and Florida make more money from a home game than OSU, Michigan or PSU?

It will have nothing to do with SOS; it will be a money thing. If the B1G starts creeping up on the SEC in terms of money, the SEC will do something. And if the B1G and the SEC get together and petition for a 14-game season, they'll probably succeed.

Both the SEC and B1G have four "permanent" OOC rivalries.
