That’s already a newsworthy development, but here’s where it really gets interesting—the games could possibly be a play-in-style format that might decide up to eight bids for the College Football Playoff. In that scenario, using the 2024 standings, the play-in matchups might resemble this:
Big Ten No. 1 seed Oregon Ducks vs. SEC No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels
Big Ten No. 2 Penn State Nittany Lions vs. SEC No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies
Big Ten No. 3 Indiana Hoosiers vs. SEC No. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks
Big Ten No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. SEC No. 5 LSU Tigers
Big Ten No. 5 Iowa Hawkeyes vs. SEC No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide
Big Ten No. 6 Illinois Fighting Illini vs. SEC No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers
Big Ten No. 7 Michigan Wolverines vs. SEC No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs
Big Ten No. 8 Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. SEC No. 1 Texas Longhorns
