For the second time in four months, conference leaders from the SEC and Big Ten will meet in person to discuss common ground during a critical decision-making period in college athletics. Wednesday's meeting in New Orleans will include discussions about the House vs. NCAA settlement and future NCAA governance, but it will also include important conversations about the College Football Playoff and what the two most powerful conferences want it to look like moving forward.
In less than a week, the CFP's management committee will meet in Dallas to begin a thorough review of the inaugural 12-team field.
