For the third year in a row, the Big Ten champion was left out of the College Football Playoff. As a result, James Franklin believes the conference needs to take a hard look in the mirror and at least discuss its alignment.
“I was hoping that the Big Ten would be represented in the playoff,” Franklin said Sunday night on a Citrus Bowl call. “As a conference, we have to look at what we’re doing. We have to look at our model and see if it makes sense, especially our side of the conference.”
The Big Ten should be familiar with missing out by now.
