STILLWATER – Okay, the summit meeting with the SEC and the Big Ten is over from this past week in New Orleans. Honestly, I’m kind of surprised that it didn’t accomplish more or maybe the athletic directors and administrators from the two conferences and their schools didn’t dive in and come up with more of a working agenda to conquer the college football and athletic landscape.

Gotta be some come to Jesus talks coming.

Will the CFB watching public continue to watch the "big boys" play week to week (games that include Rutgers vs Maryland and Vandy vs S Caro. ) full well knowing those games don't impact anything that happens in regards to the playoff?

Will ESPN / Fox pay for that lineup? With a bunch of people / viewers tuning out?

Will KSU and OSU fans continue to watch their teams knowing they can't compete with the high profile programs? (They can't now but that another topic)

if the conference champions cannot get a first week bye, then they need to scrap that whole structure and cut it down to 8 team - no byes.

If it's going to be another biased vested committee picking the order, then frankly we'd be better off going back to the days of letting the AP pick the winner, and put back in the bowl pageantry that we lost.

When statements like this are being made, "The SEC and Big Ten have already gained the monetary difference they want for the future. Now, they want to solidify the desired participation. ", then you fully understand that college football has managed to make itself irrelevant.
