CBS SPORTS was one of the first to report Big Ten and SEC publicly supported a shift to straight sowing during a meeting between the sports conference managers and administrators in March after Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Indiana were kept out of the first four discussion due to the conference champion.
The Big Ten champion, who did not defeat Oregon, was the first seeded in a separate match last year before getting the eighth -ranked clouds in Ohio, ranked in Rose Ball to open. Al-Bat, 41-21, lost in front of the national heroes in the end, but Dan Lanning refused to blame the setback issues.
“We have had a chance,” Laning said. “We did not benefit from this opportunity. I will not make excuses for our opportunity.”
As Marcello previously reported, discussions on the field expand to 14 or 16 teams – with multiple automatic qualifiers for four energy conferences – have been going on for months. The 1225 -team qualifying style contract expires after the 2025 season.
