After months and months of lengthy discussions regarding the state of the College Football Playoff and how the Southeastern Conference will handle conference scheduling moving forward, Texas A&M’s athletic director discussed his thoughts on the impending decisions.
ESPN senior writer Heather Dinich reported that the Aggies’ athletic director Trev Alberts gave his thoughts on the potential expansion of the CFP on Tuesday afternoon and how it affects the SEC scheduling discussions as a whole.
“Are we going to four autobids? Are we not? We need some answers… Nine games makes sense for a lot of different reasons, but it doesn’t make sense for us if we’re not guaranteed to be protected.”
According to Dinich, the second-year athletic director for Texas A&M believes that the interest in conference representatives to extend league play to eight games instead of nine hinges upon the future of the CFP.
As reported by multiple outlets last week, the College Football Playoff has now adopted a straight-seeding concept, effective immediately starting this season.
Of course, the rules, regulations and concepts are being changed and new ones are being instated every single day. As Alberts stated in his discussions with Dinich, the commissions for both the CFP and the SEC need to determine what they want to do with scheduling and how they want it to look soon.
