the b1g wants 442213 for the 3/6 4/5 play-ins for whom the bell tolls..... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6509205/2025/07/22/tony-petitti-big-ten-cfp-expansion/ Tony Petitti stands by Big Ten’s CFP plan, calls 6-3 in league play ‘a great record’ LAS VEGAS — Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti on Tuesday defended his proposed 16-team College Football Playoff format that would allocate twice as many automatic berths to the Big Ten and SEC. Speaking on the first day of his conference’s media days, Petitti said a field primarily determined by conference standings, rather than the CFP rankings, would make the selection process more objective and allow leagues to create their own CFP play-in games the first weekend in December. “The Big Ten has been consistent in its strong preference for a Playoff system that allocates spots based on conference standings and the results of playing games,” Petitti said. “We want to better connect the regular season and the postseason.” The FBS commissioners have been stuck at an impasse for more than a year in determining the size and format of the Playoff when its new contract with ESPN begins ahead of the 2026 season. That contract specifies that any changes to the current 12-team format must be determined by Dec. 1. The Big Ten first introduced the “4-4-2-2-1” concept — four automatic qualifiers for the Big Ten and SEC, two each for the ACC and Big 12, one for the top-ranked Group of 5 champion — during spring 2024 meetings of CFP leaders. But outside of one interview with Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt, his media days address was the first time Petitti made his pitch publicly. Initially it appeared the Big Ten and SEC were aligned on the proposed format, but that’s no longer the case. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, speaking at his league’s media days last week, said, “We had a different view coming out of (May’s SEC meetings) around the notion of allocations, if you will. … The Big Ten has a different view, that’s fine.” The ACC and Big 12 have made clear they support a “5+11” model: the top five conference champs, as is the case currently, plus 11 at-large bids. “Why would I as a commissioner cap (the Big 12’s) participation?” commissioner Brett Yormark said at his league’s media days. “It makes no sense.” Petitti reiterated that the Big Ten and SEC “control changes to the CFP format and the selection committee process” going forward “after considering feedback from the membership.” “We are open to considering any format ideas that come from our (conference) colleagues or the CFP staff,” he said, “but to be clear, formats that increase the discretion and role of the CFP selection committee will have a difficult time getting support from the Big Ten.” A big part of Petitti’s pitch is the concept of conference play-in games. In the Big Ten’s vision, conference championship weekend would no longer consist solely of No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchups, but also 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5, the winners of which would receive automatic CFP berths. Petitti predicted “fans will gravitate to it.” Had that been in place last year, the No. 6 seed would have been Iowa, which finished 6-3 in the conference and 8-4 overall. Petitti pushed back when a reporter said, “I don’t sense a clamor for a four-loss team in the Playoff.” “If you’re 6-3 in the Big Ten, I would argue that’s a great record, and if you stumbled in a nonconference game, I don’t know why that disqualifies you,” Petitti said. “8-4 as a winning percentage, if you project that winning percentage in every other sport, I’m pretty sure you make the postseason. … There are plenty of teams in professional sports who qualify for the playoffs who can’t get past the first-round game. That’s OK, they still get to play. We’ll figure it out on the field, rather than sitting in a room.” The six Big Ten coaches who spoke Tuesday all supported Petitti’s plan. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Big Ten schools will be less likely to play tough out-of-conference games without the assurance of automatic berths, given they play nine league games as compared with the SEC’s eight. “If we’re going to be in a situation where we get four automatic qualifiers, then I think it’d be great to have a 10th game against a Power 4 team,” Day said. “If we’re not going to do that, then I don’t think it makes sense.”

does texags ever acknowledge or quote graham? does billy have an embargo on urls for graham's stuff, or his name, like he used to do to prevent mention of the shag? way to go graham now elk is going to get grilled on this ad infinitum +++ https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/college/article/texas-aggies-texas-longhorns-rivalry-18661302.php 240211 Texas A&M football: New coach Mike Elko sparks UT rivalry Brent Zwerneman 6–8 minutes Sam Craft/Associated Press COLLEGE STATION — Mike Elko pushed the right buttons in keeping five-star playmaker Terry Bussey of Timpson on board in Texas A&M’s class of 2024. Then Elko, the Aggies’ new coach who’s also new to the state’s grandest rivalry, pushed one more button for fun Wednesday. “We’re the flagship program in this state, right?” Elko said during the traditional signing day. In unexpectedly opining on an oh-so serious subject in Texas, the Ivy League graduate and history major used the most common word in English to fuel the hype of this state’s collegiate version of the Super Bowl. To wit: Though minuscule via vocabulary, the difference between “the” and “a” in Elko’s sentiment is wider than Big Bend National Park. Take what then-A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said when he first adopted the stance that A&M did not want Texas and Oklahoma to join the Southeastern Conference from the Big 12. “A&M is a flagship university, and with the size and scale of our place, we should have our own stand-alone identity in our own conference,” Bjork said in July 2021. Bjork and much of the rest of the Aggie brass got in line with the rest of the SEC, however, when league commissioner Greg Sankey informed A&M it didn’t really have any say in the matter. UT and OU are now set to enter the SEC in July, and A&M and UT are finally scheduled to play football again for the first time since 2011. The Aggies’ consolation prize in the whole deal is hosting the first game of the reunion on Nov. 30, despite also hosting the last one 13 years ago. Elko, who was A&M’s defensive coordinator from 2018-2021 under now deposed coach Jimbo Fisher, has never been a part of A&M vs. UT. Neither has fourth-year UT coach Steve Sarkisian, although his personal rivalry with A&M runs much deeper than Elko’s with Texas. Sarkisian set the single-game passing yards record by an A&M opponent as BYU’s quarterback in 1996. “I didn’t know that was still true,” Sarkisian said with a grin during an appearance last year at the Touchdown Club of Houston. “But thanks for the reminder.” The “flagship” volley of Elko, hired from Duke to try to lead the Aggies to their first SEC title as the Longhorns and Sooners give the powerful league 16 programs, quickly received backing from his new employer. “Texas A&M is the state’s oldest public institution of higher learning, the only land-, sea- and space-grant university in Texas, and educates more people every day than any other school in the Lone Star State,” A&M boasted via social media not long after Elko’s signing day press conference. The responses to the A&M post were colorful from both sides, with one UT fan chiming in, “Awww that’s cool, now let’s talk championships.” That is indeed the part where A&M has some serious catching up to do in coming years, particularly in football. The Aggies last won a national title in 1939 and haven’t played for a national championship since. Their highest finish since ’39 came under Fisher — No. 4 four years ago. Fisher’s A&M program peaked at that point and was a combined 12-13 over the last two seasons, leading to his firing in November. UT won national titles in 1963, 1969 and 2005 and played for a championship in 2009. The Longhorns also made the four-team College Football Playoff this past season for the first time, something the Aggies have not accomplished (although they were a debatable fifth following the 2020 regular season). The CFP is expanding from four to 12 teams this coming season. In a prime example of an offseason topic as fans already are missing college football, there was some social media debate on Elko’s exact wording on the flagship front, but there is no mistaking his “the” instead of “a.” Elko was speaking at the time about the importance of building relationships with Texas high school coaches. “If we’re one of those (flagship) programs, there’s a certain relationship we need to have with the high schools in this state, right?” Elko explained. “And a part of that — and I’ve said this to all these (coaches) — a part of it is recruiting, but a part of it is just being a resource for high school coaches in the state of Texas, right? It’s part of our obligation to pay it forward.” Webster’s Dictionary defines “flagship” as “the best, largest or most important one of a group of things.” Writers across the state for decades have described UT and A&M as Texas’s “two flagship universities” in sidestepping any unwanted missives from either side via snail mail, e-mail and, for the past 15 years or so, social media. Elko chose a more singular route by ignoring the other “flagship” altogether, along the way helping add a little offseason spice to the overdue return of a rousing rivalry — one that includes the dissecting of two words totaling four letters.

don't truncate sidebar: the ivies were never in the 'business' of football despite their dominance of the first 70ish years of the sport; the league formed in '54 but didn't start play until '56, and for the next 25 years made regular statements of the amateur-ness; then they were kicked out of division 1 in 1981, they didn't choose to go 1-AA on their own -
