ESPN and the SEC are now openly talking about forming their own Super League playoff as I mentioned they would do nearly a year ago... Going to be a wild next few months. Hopefully FSU is ready when called upon.
Right now, everything is on the table for the SEC.
"We wanted to be good collaborators. We think we gave up a lot ... what was viewed as a balanced approach given the up-front demands eventually fell apart. We also have the responsibility to think broadly about different possibilities. The SEC will continue to do so."
"Those unknowns are on our mind as we think about decision making down the road," Sankey said. "This is a fully dynamic environment. It's hard to understand where things will end up if you wait for this to play out."
Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin echoed that notion to ESPN: "We have an incredibly strong league, one that will be even stronger once Oklahoma and Texas join. The focus should be on how we as a league use that strength to further position the SEC as we face new realities. Commissioner Sankey has encouraged our athletic directors to think creatively, and an SEC-only playoff is a different idea that we should absolutely consider an option."

Could the SEC stage its own football playoff? It's all on the table at spring meetings
Would the SEC think about really shaking up the college football landscape with its own playoff? Greg Sankey addresses that and more ahead of the league's spring meetings next week.
