CFP strength of schedule broken promises could lead to unthinkable SEC doomsday scenario

The SEC and Big Ten have made stunning moves over the past five years to dramatically mold college football into their preferred image.

What they can’t do is control the human condition on the College Football Playoff selection committee.

And that may just lead to more stunning moves from the SEC to change the sport forever.

Because the day the runner-up of the SEC isn’t selected to the CFP, is the day the SEC walks out of the entire process.

A selection process the SEC was promised would change, where strength of schedule and big wins, and to a lesser extent, close losses in big games, would be the high-value entry point.
