The College Football Playoff is shaking up its seeding rules - With the new "straight seating structure" set for 2025, SEC teams might secure more first-round byes, regardless of conference championship status. This episode unpacks the implications of these changes, featuring insights from Chris Gordy on how they could reshape the playoff landscape. Last year, it would've meant 2 SEC teams in the top 4. What do you think about this change? Fair or unfair to other conferences?
Also, dive into the latest SP+ ratings, where Alabama ranks second, and explore the future of Arkansas Razorbacks' coach Sam Pittman. 12 SEC teams in the top 25! Georgia at 4, Bama at 2. Interesting to see Tennessee drop from 8 to 13 after losing Nico Iamaleava. The model sees them as 2.9 points per game worse. Do you agree with this assessment? How do you think Tennessee will fare this season?
The episode also covers the SEC Baseball Tournament, spotlighting Texas A&M's injury to Jace Laviolette and the shift to a single-elimination format. Meanwhile, Tennessee upset Texas in extras. Which team do you think has the best shot at winning it all on Sunday?
Tune in for a comprehensive analysis of these pivotal changes and their potential impact on SEC teams.
