LAS VEGAS — Greg Sankey is against rash changes to the current College Football Playoff format and selection process.
See what happens, he says. Watch the games unfold, he contends. And then, perhaps, consider alterations.
However, in an interview with Yahoo Sports on Tuesday, the SEC commissioner acknowledges that the 12-team format — one he helped create in 2020-21 — was intended for a world that featured five somewhat equitable power conferences and not the current landscape of four inequitable power leagues.
The most recent conference realignment strengthened the Big Ten and SEC as they absorbed previous brands from the Pac-12 (USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington) and Big 12 (Oklahoma and Texas).
