Posted Jul 19, 2025
If the Big Ten and SEC don’t agree to change the model, it won’t change. The Big Ten supports a model with four automatic bids for both the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, two apiece for the ACC and Big 12, one for the highest-ranked conference champion outside of the Power 4 and at-large bids for the rest (in a 14- or 16-team bracket).
