Greg Sankey Talks CFP Committee's 'Challenges' Ahead of 10-Game SEC Schedule

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey says the College Football Playoff committee faces a "number of challenges" in determining playoff teams given the varying schedules among conferences in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sankey does not believe there will be a minimum number of games required for a team to make the playoff.

"We're going to trust them with that," he told reporters Wednesday of the committee.

The SEC is set to play a 10-game conference schedule and eliminated all of its nonconference games. The Big 12 and ACC are playing 11 games—10 conference and one nonconference.
