Why would the SEC want to help the Big 10? If recent history is a guide, the SEC would slways get 3 bids in a 14 team playoff if there were no auto bids. The Big 10 would not. Really do not understand why the SEC feels like they need this. At some point giving the Big 10 3 bids will likely keep an SEC team out. If the SEC thinks they are the dominant force in college football they wouldn't seek an auto-bids. Such a pussy move.

They would go from 12 teams to 14. But agree that if they just went with the top 14 teams the SEC would get 3 anyway. And the B1G would probably also get 3 most of the time, especially with the addition of Oregon and Washington.

Even if they go with 5 auto-bids (winner of the ACC, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, highest rated winner of all other conference) that leaves 9 at-large bids. In a 14 team playoff, that means at a minimum every on of the top 12 teams gets in, is the SEC really concerned they won't have 3 teams in the top 12? Can see why the Big 10 would fear this (even with Oregon and Washington), but not the SEC.

Again, if I am the SEC, my objection to this plan is that the third Big 10 auto-bid will keep a 4th or even 5th SEC team from getting in.
 
Because you still need the commissioners from the Big XII, ACC, and Big Ten to sign off on the deal for it to go through.
 
The purpose of the two minue warning was that the official time used to kept on the field not the game scoreboard; so, the NFL decided to give team's notice when the end of each half was coming. As stated above, now the purpose of the two minute warning is to add a commercial break. So dumb for colleges to adopt this. Here is a summary as to how the two minute warning came to pass in the NFL:


Pro Football Hall of Fame archivist Jon Kendle explained to the LA Times that when pro football games started in the late 1890s, there was no clock for teams and coaches to check on the scoreboard. Instead, officials were advised to notify team captains when time was running out in the half — usually when there were five to ten minutes left (the game had two 45-minute halves at the time).

As years went by, the game got shorter. By 1942, the rules changed and the warning was given at the two-minute mark, Kendle said. Seven years later, the rules changed again, calling for a timeout when the two-minute warning is given.
 
College, even HS, baseball teams have communication devices with catchers; you cannot tell me this was a cost issue for FBS football.
 
Hah, yeah 2 min warnings make sense in intramurals/rec leagues. Nowhere else that has a scoreboard/time clock.

It's cute that the Big 10 thinks they should be treated as equals with the SEC. It's like when NCSt thinks they should have their fortunes tied to UNC.

can't wait to see Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn St in the playoffs every year
 
And if the ACC gets two auto-bids, the ACCCG is just an exhibition game too, now that we've done away with divisions.
 
Northwestern is pawning stuff off as part of their field renovations.
