Conference championship games in college football are happening Saturday, but we have commissioners of conferences now politicking for their teams to get into the 12-team College Football Playoff.
Greg Sankey of the Southeastern Conference and Jim Phillips of the Atlantic Coast Conference discussed on ESPN’s College GameDay on why their league needs to have more teams in the playoff. The SEC and ACC have conference title matchups, while the ACC Championship Game has implications on the University of Alabama. Alabama football, a program in the SEC, needs Southern Methodist University (SMU) to beat Clemson in order for it to grab an at-large big at No.
